Acute myeloid leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal cells that build up in the bone marrow and blood and interfere with normal blood cell production.

See Promyelocyte and Acute myeloid leukemia

Acute promyelocytic leukemia

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells.

See Promyelocyte and Acute promyelocytic leukemia

Anemia

Anemia or anaemia (British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen.

See Promyelocyte and Anemia

Azurophilic granule

An azurophilic granule is a cellular object readily stainable with a Romanowsky stain.

See Promyelocyte and Azurophilic granule

Basophil

Basophils are a type of white blood cell.

See Promyelocyte and Basophil

Blood smear

A blood smear, peripheral blood smear or blood film is a thin layer of blood smeared on a glass microscope slide and then stained in such a way as to allow the various blood cells to be examined microscopically.

See Promyelocyte and Blood smear

Bone marrow

Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found within the spongy (also known as cancellous) portions of bones.

See Promyelocyte and Bone marrow

Bone marrow examination

Bone marrow examination refers to the pathologic analysis of samples of bone marrow obtained by bone marrow biopsy (often called trephine biopsy) and bone marrow aspiration.

See Promyelocyte and Bone marrow examination

Cell nucleus

The cell nucleus (nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

See Promyelocyte and Cell nucleus

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.

See Promyelocyte and Chemotherapy

Chromatin

Chromatin is a complex of DNA and protein found in eukaryotic cells.

See Promyelocyte and Chromatin

Chromosomal translocation

In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes.

See Promyelocyte and Chromosomal translocation

Complete blood count

A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood.

See Promyelocyte and Complete blood count

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics is essentially a branch of genetics, but is also a part of cell biology/cytology (a subdivision of human anatomy), that is concerned with how the chromosomes relate to cell behaviour, particularly to their behaviour during mitosis and meiosis.

See Promyelocyte and Cytogenetics

Cytokine

Cytokines are a broad and loose category of small proteins (~5–25 kDa) important in cell signaling.

See Promyelocyte and Cytokine

Cytoplasm

In cell biology, the cytoplasm describes all material within a eukaryotic cell, enclosed by the cell membrane, except for the cell nucleus.

See Promyelocyte and Cytoplasm

Eosinophil

Eosinophils, sometimes called eosinophiles or, less commonly, acidophils, are a variety of white blood cells and one of the immune system components responsible for combating multicellular parasites and certain infections in vertebrates. Along with mast cells and basophils, they also control mechanisms associated with allergy and asthma.

See Promyelocyte and Eosinophil

Flow cytometry

Flow cytometry (FC) is a technique used to detect and measure the physical and chemical characteristics of a population of cells or particles.

See Promyelocyte and Flow cytometry

Granulocyte

Granulocytes are cells in the innate immune system characterized by the presence of specific granules in their cytoplasm. Promyelocyte and Granulocyte are leukocytes.

See Promyelocyte and Granulocyte

Haematopoiesis

Haematopoiesis (from Greek αἷμα, 'blood' and ποιεῖν 'to make'; also hematopoiesis in American English; sometimes also h(a)emopoiesis) is the formation of blood cellular components.

See Promyelocyte and Haematopoiesis

Hematologic disease

Hematologic diseases are disorders which primarily affect the blood and blood-forming organs.

See Promyelocyte and Hematologic disease

Hematopoietic stem cell

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the stem cells that give rise to other blood cells. Promyelocyte and Hematopoietic stem cell are blood cells.

See Promyelocyte and Hematopoietic stem cell

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.

See Promyelocyte and Inflammation

Leukemia

Leukemia (also spelled leukaemia; pronounced) is a group of blood cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and produce high numbers of abnormal blood cells.

See Promyelocyte and Leukemia

Leukocytosis

Leukocytosis is a condition in which the white cell (leukocyte) count is above the normal range in the blood.

See Promyelocyte and Leukocytosis

Myeloblast

The myeloblast is a unipotent stem cell which differentiates into the effectors of the granulocyte series. Promyelocyte and myeloblast are blood cells.

See Promyelocyte and Myeloblast

Myelocyte

A myelocyte is a young cell of the granulocytic series, occurring normally in bone marrow (can be found in circulating blood when caused by certain diseases). Promyelocyte and myelocyte are leukocytes.

See Promyelocyte and Myelocyte

Myelodysplastic syndrome

A myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is one of a group of cancers in which immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature, and as a result, do not develop into healthy blood cells.

See Promyelocyte and Myelodysplastic syndrome

Neutrophil

Neutrophils (also known as neutrocytes, heterophils or polymorphonuclear leukocytes) are a type of white blood cell.

See Promyelocyte and Neutrophil

Nucleated red blood cell

A nucleated red blood cell (NRBC), also known by several other names, is a red blood cell that contains a cell nucleus. Promyelocyte and nucleated red blood cell are blood cells.

See Promyelocyte and Nucleated red blood cell

Nucleolus

The nucleolus (nucleoli) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

See Promyelocyte and Nucleolus

Phagocytosis

Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell uses its plasma membrane to engulf a large particle (≥ 0.5 μm), giving rise to an internal compartment called the phagosome.

See Promyelocyte and Phagocytosis

Remission (medicine)

Remission is either the reduction or disappearance of the signs and symptoms of a disease.

See Promyelocyte and Remission (medicine)

Retinoic acid receptor alpha

Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-α), also known as NR1B1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group B, member 1), is a nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the RARA gene.
