Key Points
N-methylated thrombospondin-1 mimetic peptides selectively kill the leukemic CD5+ B cells, sparing mature and precursor nontumor cells. CD47 peptide triggering eliminates drug-resistant CLL cells by inducing an original form of cell death regulated by G proteins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
