Abstract:
Genetic and epigenetic lesions within hematopoietic cell populations can drive the development of hematological malignancies. However, emerging studies have revealed crucial roles of bone marrow microenvironment in the initiation, progression and chemoresistance of hematological malignancies. This review summarized recent findings on how bone marrow microenvironment organized in steady state and re-shaped in hematological malignancies and its impact on disease outcomes, highlighting the implications for the therapeutic targeting of immunosuppressive bone marrow microenvironment.
