New findings help treat white blood disease

French scientists from the National Center for Scientific Research and the recent Pasteur Research Institute have discovered the growth mechanism of blood-forming stem cells in zebrafish.

The findings are made possible through 'real-time monitoring' technology for zebrafish embryos.

This result will provide new ways to help the medical community study the treatment of white blood disease.

In the latest issue of the British issue of Nature magazine, scientists say they have applied real-time imaging technology to observe zebrafish embryos.

As a result, part of the aortic endothelial cells in zebrafish embryos are twisted, eventually falling out of the aorta and forming stem cells that can be mobile. Meanwhile, the aortic wall maintains a complete state. After that, the newly formed stem cells continue to divide and transform into hematopoietic stem cells.

According to scientists, although the study is still in its infancy, it is hopeful that it can provide new thinking to help scientists study the treatment of white blood disease.

If such a mechanism exists in humans, scientists only need to take out the patient's blood cells and cultivate them into hematopoietic cells and then transplant them into the human body, which has Can help patients recreate the hematopoietic system. /.
