    Analysis of the disease course in 17 patients afflicted with hairy-cell leukemia enabled the authors to specify 3 clinico-hematologic variants of the disease: a typical or a splenic one (with a predominant injury to the spleen), an atypical or bone marrow one (with a predominant injury to bone marrow), and a hypoplastic one. The bone marrow variant was characterized by the most pronounced leukemic injuries to bone marrow, severe bacterial complications, and the most unfavourable prognosis. The remaining variants were marked by their own individual features and ran a more favourable course. The division of hairy-cell leukemia into 3 variants promotes the improvement of the disease diagnosis and the elaboration of the optimal treatment policy in each specific case as well as the disease prognosis. The pathogenetic heterogeneity of the hairy-cell leukemia variants is discussed.

    Histone Variants at the Centromere

    Histone variants are the histone proteins with structural and sequence variations. These variants may be regarded as “mutant” forms that replace their canonical histone counterparts in the nucleosomes. Specific post-translational modifications on the histone variants enable further chromatin complexity and regulate tissue-specific gene expression. The most common histone variants are from histone H2A, H2B, and linker histone H1 families. However, several variants of histone H3 variants are also...

    Hematopoiesis

    The process of blood cell formation is called hematopoiesis. Hematopoiesis starts early during development, on the seventh day of embryogenesis. This phase of hematopoiesis is called the primitive wave, wherein the extraembryonic yolk sac allows the production of erythroid cells and endothelial cells from a common precursor called hemangioblast. The erythroid cells provide oxygen to support the growth of the rapidly dividing embryo. Hemangioblasts later develop into hematopoietic stem cells or...

    Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    The hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate and give rise to all blood and immune cells. HSCs are maintained in the quiescent stage until an external stimulus initiates their differentiation. The multipotent HSCs exist as two heterogeneous populations, long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and short-term repopulating cells (STRC). The two HSC populations have different surface markers or receptors and are classified based on quiescence and long-term...

    Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

    Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust...

    Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

    A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...
