Understanding the hypoxic niche of multiple myeloma: therapeutic implications and contributions of mouse models
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy and is characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Recently, hypoxia has received increased interest in the context of MM, in both basic and translational research. In this review, we describe the...
