The search for Multiple Myeloma Stem cells: molecular characterization and self-renewal mechanisms involved in the disease persistence

The existence of Multiple Myeloma Stem cells (MMSCs)is supposed to be one of the major causes of MM drug-resistance. However, very little is known about the molecular characteristics of MMSCs, even if some studies suggested that these cells resembles the memory B cells. In order to molecularly ch...
