AURKC and acute myeloid leukemia: In this paper, we have investigated the use of GSK1070916, a reversible and ATP competitive inhibitor of Aurora B and Aurora C kinases (AURKB/C), to purge ovarian cortex tissue fragments contaminated with foci of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) from cell lines and of primary cancer cells from patients with AML.
