Abstract excerpt
Leukemic cells are defined by two main biological features: arrest of differentiation at a specific stage compatible with continued proliferation, and enhanced resistance to stress. Recent work shows that the leukemia-associated fusion protein PML-RAR can mediate both biological effects targeting independent pathways, through a unifying mechanism. Differentiation block is achieved through transcriptional...
