Such efforts have brought to the forefront new oncogenic alterations and mechanisms of drug resistance. This dissertation is focused on the identification and characterization of intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation in the setting of leukemia. An understanding of these mechanisms can be harnessed clinically to facilitate the development of new therapies and, thereby expand the promise of precision medicine. This work implicates that disrupting the crosstalk between leukemia cells and the marrow microenvironment could circumvent drug resistance and improve patient outcomes. 000008850 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008850 650__ $$aLeukemia$$021430 000008850 650__ $$aDrug Resistance$$018079 000008850 6531_ $$apoint mutations 000008850 6531_ $$atyrosine kinase inhibitor 000008850 6531_ $$acancer 000008850 6531_ $$atyrosine kinase receptors 000008850 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008850 692__ $$aDepartment of Physiology and Pharmacology$$041442 000008850 7001_ $$aJoshi, Sunil K. 000008850 8564_ $$9f166ef8a-ae5f-445c-8107-875957af5d0a$$s144020895$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8850/files/Joshi.Sunil.2021.pdf 000008850 905__ $$a/rest/prod/rr/17/1x/85/rr171x85d 000008850 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8850$$pstudent-work 000008850 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
