Cell-state-dependent responses to PLK1 inhibition reveal a non-canonical microtubule-endolysosomal vulnerability in quiescent leukemia stem cells

Relapse in cancer is frequently driven by therapy-resistant quiescent cancer stem cells.

Relapse in cancer is frequently driven by therapy-resistant quiescent cancer stem cells. Conventional chemotherapy has been designed to target proliferating tumor cells and is generally presumed to be ineffective against non-cycling cancer stem cells. Using acute myeloid…
