Diverging fates of cells of origin in acute and chronic leukaemia

Abstract excerpt

The large difference in phenotypes among tumour populations may stem from the stochastic origin of tumours from distinct cells - tumour cells are assumed to retain the phenotypes of the cells from which they derive. Yet, functional studies addressing the cellular origin of leukaemia are lacking. Here we show that the cells of origin of both, BCR/ABL-induced chronic myeloid (CML) and B-cell acute lymphoid...
