Abstract

Genetically engineered mouse models are powerful systems for dissecting the process of human leukemogenesis. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Schindler et al. (2009) describe the elegant use of this approach to dissect, but not completely replicate, the multistep pathogenesis of TEL-AML1(+) leukemia.
