[Stem cells, clonality and leukemia]
Abstract:
The data we review suggest newer concepts regarding the biology of leukemia. First, all leukemias may originate in a multipotent stem cells. Second, leukemia phenotype may reflect where the leukemia clone expands rather than the site of transformation. Third, preleukemia may always antedate leukemia. And finally, remission and cure may result from re-establishing preleukemia rather than eradicating leukemia cells of favoring their maturation. Also, leukemia and at least some cases of aplastic anemia may represent different ends of a spectrum of one disease.

Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
