Characterization and targeting of malignant stem cells in patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) arises from mutations in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here, the authors demonstrate that HSCs in higher-risk MDS express the surface marker CD123 and are characterized by activation of protein synthesis machinery and increased oxidative phosphorylation.
