Leukemia is a cancer of blood in which there are too many white blood cells in the bone and the bone marrow. A person’s bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells‚ which are leukemia cells. Leukemia cells‚ unlike normal blood cells‚ do not die. They may displace normal white blood cells‚ red blood cells and platelets. Thus‚ they can’t do their work. There are several types of leukemia. They are grouped based on how quickly the disease develops and gets worse. The chronic leukemia usually gets

the NICD in immature osteoblasts was sufficient to drive the formation of bone tumors‚ including osteogenic sarcoma‚ with complete penetrance. These tumors were shown to display features of human osteogenic sarcoma‚ specifically histopathology‚ cytogenetic complexity‚ and metastatic potential. Their studies in the mouse found that osteoblasts‚ the predecessor to the formation of bone and other bone-related cells‚ can be cells in which osteogenic sarcoma begins. Most importantly‚ this mouse model reveals

Introduction Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that the body uses to fight infections. In ALL‚ the bone marrow makes lots of unformed cells called blasts that normally would develop into lymphocytes. However‚ the blasts are abnormal. They do not develop and cannot fight infections. The number of abnormal cells (or leukemia cells) grows quickly. They crowd out the normal red blood cells‚ white blood cells

Genetic Factors It has been debated whether children who develop Schizophrenia have a notable genetic connection or not. Researchers question whether the disease is passed down in familial lines or it is just triggered by an external source‚ but there is data that show genetic abnormalities in patients who develop childhood-onset Schizophrenia. In a study by C.J. Carter‚ he concluded “genes related to glutamatergic and in particular NMDA receptor signaling” have been associated with Schizophrenia
