Another
BloodMed e-mewsletter. Whilst these aren’t immediately applicable to what I do,
I often wonder if they are harbingers of things to come. Take today’s one - A
new test for childhood leukemia which could have major implications for
diagnosis and treatment. The test for acute lymphoblastic leukemia involves the
measurement of extracellular vesicles released by cancer cells into the blood.
The
article was rather vague about how one goes about detecting these vesicles, but
I’m sure this is the way forward…
