  • Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and is categorized as either acute or chronic, depending on how quickly it spreads, and as myelocytic or lymphocytic based on the type of white blood cells involved.
  • The study investigated the effects of the Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) strain AF2240 on WEHI 3B leukemia cells using advanced microscopy techniques to observe cell changes and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
  • Results showed that NDV caused significant changes in cell structure and decreased cell viability, with signs of early apoptosis detected within six hours of treatment, indicating potential for NDV in developing new leukemia therapies.
