Leukemia stem cells cause treatments to fail, but findings open new avenues to overcome resistance
Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute have deciphered a key mechanism that contributes to treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). They show that there are not just one, but four different subtypes of leukemia stem cells. This diversity could explain why one of the most important AML drugs does not work sufficiently in some patients or loses its effectiveness over time—resulting in the return of leukemia.
This discovery lays an important foundation for more precise and long-term successful treatment strategies that could specifically overcome resistance mechanisms. The findings are published in the journal Cell Stem Cell.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer that primarily affects older people and often has a poor prognosis despite improved therapies. In recent years, the targeted drug venetoclax has significantly improved treatment. In combination with other drugs, venetoclax often shows good therapeutic success in AML and will, at least in part, replace highly aggressive chemotherapy in the future. However, AML returns in nearly all patients—usually because individual cancer stem cells become resistant to the drug.

New Cisco DoS flaw requires manual reboot to revive devices
The company advised customers at the time to contact its Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to have them brought back online, as this required manual intervention.
Last year, Cisco patched another DoS vulnerability (CVE-2025–20115) that allowed attackers to crash the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) process on IOS XR routers with a single BGP update message.
