Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) consists of protein complexes I, II, III, IV and V that support oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), which depends on electron transport to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Electron "leakage" from the MRC generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) stem cells (LSCs) produce high levels of mitochondrial ROS, causing...
