Targeting leukemic stem cells by breaking their dormancy
9 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Transient or long-term quiescence, the latter referred to as dormancy are fundamental features of at least some adult stem cells. The status of dormancy is likely a critical mechanism for the observed resistance of normal HSCs and leukemic stem cells (LSCs) to anti-proliferative chemotherapy. Recent studies have revealed cytokines such as Interferon-alpha (IFNα) and G-CSF as well as arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3))...
