Abstract

Selective targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs) has the potential to prevent cancer relapse. Wang et al. (2011) report that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) represses Notch signaling to maintain CSC subsets from lymphoma, and that blocking HIF1α activity eliminates lymphoma and human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) CSCs.
