Telomere biology disorders by Kam, Michelle L. W., Nguyen, Trang T. T., Ngeow, Joanne Yuen Yie

“…Telomeres are DNA-protein structures at chromosome ends that maintain chromosome stability; their length affects cell replicative potential and senescence. A constellation of bone marrow failure, pulmonary fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and premature greying is suggestive, however incomplete penetrance results in highly variable manifestations, with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as the most common presentation. …”

Improving detection of chromosomal abnormalities in multiple myeloma using fluorescence in situ hybridization by Naw, Wah Wah

“…D13S319/LAMP1 and IGH@/MAF, interphase FISH probes for del13q14 and t(14;16)(q32;q23) respectively, are used in this study to detect multiple myeloma cells in bone marrow aspirate of 20 patients. While CC could not detect del13q14 and t(14;16)(q32;q23) in any of the 20 patients, interphase FISH detected these chromosomal abnormalities in half (10/20) of the patients. …”

Activated invariant NKT cells regulate osteoclast development and function by Hu, M, Bassett, JHD, Danks, L, Howell, PGT, Xu, K, Spanoudakis, E, Kotsianidis, I, Boyde, A, Williams, GR, Horwood, N, Roberts, I, Karadimitris, A

“…Because these same progenitors give rise to osteoclasts (OCs), which also mediate the egress of hematopoietic progenitors and orchestrate bone remodeling, we hypothesized that iNKT cells would extend their myeloid cell regulatory role to the development and function of OCs. …”
