- Patients with a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) can get better with treatment, but some cells called leukaemic stem cells (LSCs) can make the cancer come back because they're hard to kill.
- Research shows that these LSCs can hide from the immune system by not showing specific signals that tell killer cells, like NK cells, to attack them, which helps the cancer survive.
- Scientists found that a protein called PARP1 helps LSCs avoid detection, and by blocking this protein, they can make LSCs visible to the immune system, helping to fight the leukaemia more effectively.
