Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Bruns et al report that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are significantly decreased in the bone marrow of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Based on their insightful findings the authors claim that hematopoietic suppression depends on cues (eg, the activation of TGFβ signaling pathways) within the MM milieu and is reversible in a MM-free bone marrow microenvironment.
