Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Leukemia is a term for cancers of the blood cells, usually beginning in the bone marrow and resulting in great numbers of abnormal blood cells. There are four main types of leukemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Leukemia happens when there are changes in the genetic material (DNA) in bone marrow cells. The cause of these genetic changes is unknown.
Currently, common leukemia treatment methods include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplantation, CAR T-cell therapy, targeted therapy, etc. Although we have made progress in understanding the biology and therapy of leukemia, the outcomes remain unsatisfactory.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent findings regarding mechanisms, diagnostics, and therapies for leukemia. We are pleased to invite you to contribute original articles, reviews, communications, etc. We are looking forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Jeffrey Pu
Guest Editor
