Abstract
Tafazzin is a mitochondrial enzyme necessary for the remodeling of the phospholipid cardiolipin. Seneviratne and Xu et al. demonstrated that Tafazzin-mediated phospholipid production regulates stemness in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Tafazzin influenced intracellular levels of phospholipids to control AML stemness. Thus, inhibiting mitochondrial phospholipid production could be a new therapeutic strategy for AML.Entities:
