Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are two major forms of leukemia that arise from lymphoid cells (LCs). ALL occurs mostly in children and CLL occurs mainly in old people. However, the…
Lymphoid leukemia (LL) and lymphoma are neoplasms developed from lymphoid cells (LCs). To understand why different forms of LL/lymphoma occur at different ages, we analyzed the effects of different types of DNA changes on a LC and the…
Lymphomas are a large group of neoplasms developed from lymphoid cells (LCs) in lymph nodes (LNs) or lymphoid tissues (LTs). Some forms of lymphomas, including Burkitt lymphoma (BL), ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+-ALCL), and…
Lymphoid leukemia (LL) and lymphoma are blood cancers developed from lymphoid cells (LCs). To understand the cause and the mechanism of cell transformation of a LC, we studied the potential sources of cell injuries of LCs and analyzed how…
We present a three-stage probabilistic model for the progression of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), as manifested by the leukemic stem cells, progenitor cells and mature leukemic cells. This progression is captured through the process of…
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a biphasic malignant clonal disorder that progresses, first with a chronic phase, where the cells have enhanced proliferation only, and then to a blast phase, where the cells have the ability of…
Leukemia, the cancer of blood cells, originates in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow. In Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) conditions, the cells partially become mature that look like normal white blood cells but do not resist…
Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is a blood-derived proliferative disorder, which is highly associated to a translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22 or the creation of Philadelphia chromosome Ph(+) cases, inducing the synthesis of a chimeric…
This study presents a mathematical model describing cloned hematopoiesis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) through a nonlinear system of differential equations. The primary objective is to understand the progression from healthy…
Recent experimental evidence suggests that acute myeloid leukemias may originate from multiple clones of malignant cells. Nevertheless it is not known how the observed clones may differ with respect to cell properties such as proliferation…
Development of a tumor is known to be a result of accumulation of DNA changes in somatic cells. However, the processes of how DNA changes are produced and how they accumulate in somatic cells are not clear. DNA changes include two types:…
The evolutionary dynamics of a system of cancerous cells in a model of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is investigated by a statistical approach. Cancer progression is explored by applying a Monte Carlo method to simulate the stochastic…
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common malignancy in childhood. Successful treatment requires initial high-intensity chemotherapy, followed by low-intensity oral maintenance therapy with oral 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and methotrexate…
Cancer progresses with a change in the structure of the gene network in normal cells. We define a measure of organizational hierarchy in gene networks of affected cells in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. With a retrospective…
A key aim of systems biology is the reconstruction of molecular networks, however we do not yet have networks that integrate information from all datasets available for a particular clinical condition. This is in part due to the limited…
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) accounts for the 80% of leukemias when coming down to pediatric ages. Survival of these patients has increased by a considerable amount in recent years. However, around 15-20% of treatments are…
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is one of the most aggressive types of hematological neoplasm. To support the specialists' decision about the appropriate therapy, patients with AML receive a prognostic of outcomes according to their…
Current treatment strategy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) mainly includes inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity, which has dramatically improved the prognosis of the disease but without cure. In addition some patients may become drug…
The pathogenesis and progression of many tumors, including hematologic malignancies is highly dependent on enhanced lipogenesis. De novo fatty-acid synthesis permits accelerated proliferation of tumor cells by providing structural…
A mathematical model of genome degradation is proposed that takes into account a variable rate of mutation and increasing number of cells in a developing human organism. The model explains known properties of cancer development, in…
