Leukemia covers all aspects of the research and treatment of Leukemia and Allied Diseases. Studies of normal hemopoiesis are covered because of their comparative relevance. Topics of interest include oncogenes, growth factors, stem cells, leukemia genomics, cell cycle, signal transduction, molecular targets for therapy and more.
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have demonstrated that in T follicular helper cell lymphoma, a subgroup of hematologic malignancies, individual tumor cells are highly heterogeneous, even within the same patient.
