Figure 1 AML Progression Disrupts Specific Regions of the Bone Marrow Microenvironment In healthy BM (1), the trabecular metaphysis is enriched with endosteal vessels, while the central marrow of the diaphysis is mostly sinusoidal vessels. With an intermediate level of AML cell infiltration (2), endosteal vessels are reduced. With more advanced AML infiltration (3), osteoblasts are also lost. Sinusoidal vessels are not reduced, but they narrow, move further from bone, and extend vascular sprouts. Cell Stem Cell 2018 22, 5-7DOI: (10.1016/j.stem.2017.12.014) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
