Abstract

"Morphoproteomics" is defined as the identification by immunohistochemistry of the molecular circuitry of various proteins in a tumor by noting their state of activation (translocation and phosphorylation) and correlative expressions. This approach can uncover potential targets, amenable to therapeutic interventions, that are specific for an individual patient's tumor (ie, customized chemotherapy). This communication illustrates the successful application of such an approach in a patient with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
