The article reports that stem cell CD 138< sup>+ molecule is better for targeted therapies in
multiple myeloma (MM) as compared with CD 138< sup>-. It further presents several
characteristics of the nature of B-cells present in these stem cells including these molecules
including B-cells are biased towards plasma cells, it exist in patients with multiple myeloma
(MM), and in cell cycles. It also presents a study which determines that CD 138 are good for
MM patients.
