Leukaemia: Niche retreats for stem cells
David A. Williams1 & Jose A. Cancelas2
Abstract
Leukaemic cells and normal blood-producing cells relate differently to their surroundings. This concept has now been extended to leukaemic stem cells, suggesting a fresh approach to therapy.
Maintaining good neighbourhood relations is important for all cells in multicellular organisms. The complex interactions between adjacent cells and with their local microenvironment support the growth, development and function of the cells — and cancer cells are no exception.
