Abstract

Osteolytic lesions (OL) are frequent in multiple myeloma (MM), but are poorly understood. Here, the authors characterise OLs in MM patient samples using single-cell RNA-seq, revealing genes that are specifically regulated in OL compared to random bone marrow aspirates and that reflect the response to induction therapy.
