A new study reveals that leukemia stem cells ( LSC s) in acute myeloid leukemia downregulate natural killer cell‐activating receptor ligands to evade immune surveillance via the transcriptional co‐factor PARP 1. The inhibition of PARP 1 sensitizes LSC s to immunotherapy, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.
