  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The discovery of Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) mutations in 2005 advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) research.
  • Genomic insights into myelofibrosis (MF) have enabled personalized prognostic tools.
  • Significant knowledge gaps persist regarding MF pathogenesis, including stem cell interactions and signaling pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize recent advancements in understanding MF pathophysiology.
  • To review the progress in developing novel therapeutics for MF.
  • To identify future research directions in the field of MF.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on MF pathophysiology.
  • Analysis of current therapeutic strategies and clinical trials for MF.
  • Discussion of knowledge gaps and future research opportunities.

Main Results:

  • Recent research has provided a more comprehensive understanding of genomic factors in MF.
  • Novel prognostic tools have been developed based on these genomic insights.

Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

The Scientific Method03:50

The Scientific Method

Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

The Scientific Method

The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
