Inflammatory immune cells predict survival, relapse in multiple myeloma

Caption

Researchers at WashU Medicine and their collaborators have created an immune cell atlas of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. The new resource could improve prognosis and guide development of new immunotherapies. Shown is a sample of bone marrow from a patient with multiple myeloma, indicated by an overabundance of plasma cells (pink) compared with normal bone marrow (green). T cells are in red.
