Telomerase inhibition targets clonogenic multiple myeloma cells through telomere length-dependent and independent mechanisms.

Telomerase inhibition targets clonogenic multiple myeloma cells through telomere length-dependent and independent mechanisms.

Plasma cells constitute the majority of tumor cells in multiple myeloma (MM) but lack the potential for sustained clonogenic growth. In contrast, clonotypic B cells can engraft and recapitulate disease in immunodeficient mice suggesting they serve as the MM cancer stem cell (CSC). These tumor initia...
