Description

Marija Zarocsinceva and co-authors build a mouse model that replays how a blood cancer grows from a silent first step. Leukemia starts when a healthy blood-forming cell picks up a founding change and sits quiet for a long time before further changes tip it into disease. The team placed a patient-derived founding change into mouse blood stem cells and transplanted them into healthy mice.

Every recipient stayed well for about a year, then developed disease, and every tumor had gained extra changes in the same growth-signaling pathway seen in patients, often the identical letter swaps. Cell-by-cell reading showed the quiet cells kept making several blood lineages before each tumor settled on one. The authors offer the model for studying the silent phase and testing drugs.
