Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a hematopoietic neoplasia with poor prognosis, originates from uncontrolled proliferation of early hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC), so called leukemic stem cells (LSCs). Enormous progress has been made elucidating regulatory factors of the healthy HSPC supporting bone marrow (BM) niche. Significantly less is known about specific interactions of LSCs with their niche. Necroptosis plays a central role for the survival and differentiation of LSCs in AML. We aim to understand how inflammatory cell death/necroptosis impacts on the bone marrow niche as well as healthy and leukemic hematopoiesis.
