Targeting LSCs: Peeling Back the Curtain on the Metabolic Complexities of AML. Cell stem cell Zhang, T. Y., Majeti, R. 2020; 27 (5): 693–95

Abstract

Most patients with AML succumb to chemoresistant leukemia stem cells (LSCs), which persist and reinitiate disease years after clinical remission. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Jones etal. (2020) identify a therapeutically targetable mechanism of resistance to venetoclax in relapsed and refractory AML LSCs mediated by nicotinamide metabolism.
