Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ebinger et al. describe rare, non-cycling blasts in acute lymphoblastic leukemia that combine the phenotypes of dormancy, stemness, and chemo-resistance. This novel in vivo model for dormant blasts will facilitate the dissection of the niche and the development of therapies targeting the leukemic microenvironment.
