    PML-RARA degradation or therapy-triggered degradation of oncoproteins could be a general strategy to eradicate cancer stem cells
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • PMLRAR alpha transgenic mice exhibited neutrophil differentiation impairment and acute promyelocytic leukemia
  • Pml–/– mice had smaller brains and hippocampus than Pml+/+ and Pml+/– mice although the overall organization of the brain did not appear to be affected
  • PML-RARA-targeted DNA vaccine induces protective immunity in a mouse model of leukemia
