Acquired hematopoietic stem-cell disorders and mammalian size.

TLDR
It is found that the advantage of large mammals at escaping the selective pressure of cancer cells is insufficient to overcome the increased risk of acquiring mutations, which favors smaller stem-cell pools and, consequently, smaller mammals, since these minimize the development of mutations in the active stem- cell pool.

B cells and immunosenescence: a focus on IgG+IgD-CD27- (DN) B cells in aged humans.

TL;DR: Memory B cells and a subset of memory B cells (namely IgG(+)IgD(-)CD27(-)) that is demonstrated is increased in healthy elderly are demonstrated to be impaired in the elderly.

The ecology of cancer from an evolutionary game theory perspective

TL;DR: A tutorial review of the central aspects of EGT, establishing a relation with the problem of cancer and how EGT can be applied to the study of the various manifestations and dynamics of multiple myeloma bone disease and its preceding condition known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy can cure chronic myeloid leukemia without hitting leukemic stem cells

TL;DR: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy can cure chronic myeloid leukemia, although it may have to be prolonged and the depth of response increases with time in the vast majority of patients, illustrating the importance of stochastic effects on the dynamics of acquired hematopoietic stem cell disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging stem cells, latexin, and longevity.

TL;DR: Findings have been obtained under experimental conditions not encountered in nature that may enable clinical tissue regeneration for the treatment of a number of diseases and demonstrate the close affinity between at least some differentiated cells and the cells from which they ultimately arose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the architecture and dynamics of hematopoiesis

TL;DR: A model of hematopoiesis based on stochastic cell behavior is discussed that can be used to understand the dynamics of various disorders both in humans and in animal models.

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells

TL;DR: Stem cell biology has come of age: Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine.
