The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer
... Interactions between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the bone marrow (BM) niche. Adhesion of MM cells to BM stromal cells is mediated by cell-adhesion molecules including vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and integrin α-4 (VLA-4). This adhesion triggers secretion of cytokines, such as VEGF ...
