► This peer-reviewed research study was the first to use mass cytometry to track human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells over time during therapy in patients. This study revealed dramatic remodeling of leukemia cell identity following chemotherapy treatment. In vivo observations showed that AML cells adopt a phenotype that is distinct from all other non-malignant immune cells, including healthy hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
