Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological cancer characterized by increased proliferation of abnormal and precursor cells of the leukocyte myeloid line, called blasts. In addition to being non-functioning cells, they accumulate in the bone marrow, interfering in the normal hematopoiesis. The chemotherapeutic treatment for leukemia is still not very effective. Although it can cure pa…
The immunotherapies comprehend several strategies which aim to use molecules or cells derived from immune system to induce apoptosis of tumor cells. NK cells are the most important components responsible to recognize and eliminate cancer in our body. However, the immune system of leukemia patients is damaged, and different authors demonstrate that leukemia stem cells are resistant to NK a…
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid hematopoietic progenitors, compromising the hematopoiesis and leading to dysfunction of multiple organs. A massive cell necrosis is induced by chemotherapeutics action and this allows the release of Danger Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs). These molecules stimulates Toll like receptors (TLRs), acti…
