c-MPL Is a Candidate Surface Marker and Confers Self-Renewal, Quiescence, Chemotherapy Resistance, and Leukemia Initiation Potential in Leukemia Stem Cells
14 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is initiated and maintained by a unique, small subset of leukemia cells known as leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Self-renewal, quiescence, and chemotherapy resistance are key stemness properties of LSCs that are essential for poor clinical responses to conventional therapies. Identifying LSC surface markers and targeting LSCs are important for the development of potential...
