Primary myelofibrosis and the "bad seeds in bad soil" concept
Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by a clonal myeloproliferation and a myelofibrosis. The concomitant presence of neoangiogenesis and osteosclerosis suggests a deregulation of medullar stem cell niches in which hematopoietic stem cells are engaged in a constant crosstalk with their stromal environment. Despite the recently discovered mutations in...
متن کاملDisrupting the Stem Cell Niche: Good Seeds in Bad Soil
Stem cells reside in a microenvironment or niche that is critical for stem cell maintenance and regulation. But what happens when a stem cell niche is disrupted? In this issue of Cell, two reports (Walkley et al., 2007a, 2007b) demonstrate in mice that alterations in the niche for hematopoietic stem cells lead to the development of myeloproliferative disease.
متن کاملBad Theory, Bad Practice: Bad Ethics
A profession that claims to understand economies, and that has gained power over the greater part of our societies, has big responsibilities. The fundamental responsibility is to ensure its perception of economies gives some useful guidance to the behaviour of real economies. Here mainstream economics fails utterly, and has been failing for a long time. Worse, it actively resists alternative vi...
متن کاملBad seeds produce bad crops: a single stage-process of prostate tumor invasion
It is a commonly held belief that prostate carcinogenesis is a multi-stage process and that tumor invasion is triggered by the overproduction of proteolytic enzymes. This belief is consistent with data from cell cultures and animal models, whereas is hard to interpret several critical facts, including the presence of cancer in "healthy" young men and cancer DNA phenotype in morphologically norm...
متن کاملIn Epilepsy, BAD Is Not Really Bad
In this issue of Neuron, Giménez-Cassina et al. (2012) show that fuel utilization by neuronal mitochondria, controlled by the Bcl-2 family member BAD, defines response to seizures. Control of K(ATP) channels by mitochondrial metabolism might be a target for antiepileptic therapies.
