Abstract excerpt
Human ESCs provide an opportunity for modeling human-specific strategies to study the earliest events leading to normal hematopoietic specification versus leukemic transformation. Of interest, are the human childhood acute leukemias harboring specific fusion oncogenes such as MLL-AF4, TEL-AML1 or BCR-ABL wherein clinically significant manifestations arise in utero. The mechanisms of transformation are not...
