Engineering Leukemia Cell for Self-destruction
Creative Biolabs is fully competent and dedicated to engineering leukemia cells - turning cancer cells against themselves. Enriched experience associated with state-of-the-art facilities, our scientists have developed several efficient Strategies for engineering cancer cells for self-destruction.
Introduction of Leukemia
As a cancer of the blood, leukemia begins when the bone marrow starts to rapidly produce abnormal white blood cells called leukemia cells. They may crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets, making it hard for the normal cells to work. There are four main types of leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia. Chronic and acute leukemias are completely different diseases, and they progress at different speeds.
The way they're treated can be very different. Acute leukemia is an emergency and we need to start therapy right away. The urgency is to manage any life-threatening complications. However, over the last few years, several drugs that focus on destroying cells that have specific mutations have been approved for acute leukemia. As we know, chemotherapies are not suitable for all patients and targeted approaches may help. Therefore, if a patient with acute leukemia does not have a life-threatening complication, a few days are needed to get more information about the disease that can help identify the best treatments. Chronic leukemias can be controlled or treated in much the same way as other chronic disorders. Nevertheless, side effects persist, and novel therapeutic agents are urgently needed for this disease.
