Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Persistence of leukemic cells after induction therapy has been shown to correlate with poor survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we tested if human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) have protective effects on leukemic cells undergoing chemotherapy. METHODS: Persistent disease was used as marker to identify cases with therapy-resistant leukemic cells in 95 patients with AML....
