Introduction Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has suboptimal survival rates for adolescents and young adults (AYA) as compared to children. Very limited studies have been conducted on AYA patients in India. This study aimed to identify the cytogenetic and immunophenotype characteristics of B-cell ALL (B-ALL) in AYA patients and determine its correlation with clinicopathological parameters in the Southern India region.

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with RAM immunophenotype is a distinct subtype of AML, as described by the Children's Oncology Group (COG), with characteristic morphological and immunophenotypic properties. It is characterized by strong CD56 expression with dim to negative CD45, HLA-DR, and CD38 expression. It is an aggressive leukemia with a poor response to induction chemotherapy and/or frequent relapses.

The presence of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) articular cartilage is sparsely investigated largely owing to the persistent pathogenic disease condition and lack of specific biomarkers. Considering the recent advancements for potential cell-based therapies in immunomodulatory diseases, such as RA, this in vitro study was aimed at investigating the cellular, molecular, and differentiation characteristics of human RA cartilage-derived MPCs. Articular cartilage fragments from RA patients were obtained for the isolation of MPCs and characterization of their cellular and biological properties, cytogenetic stability, pluripotency, and plasticity.

Objectives: In this study, clinical and biochemical methods were utilized to predict the final diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis (HS), correlate the diagnosis with splenectomy, and examine the usefulness of this approach.
Methods: We biochemically and cytochemically analysed erythrocyte membrane proteins before making a final HS diagnosis based on gene analysis to compare diagnostic approaches. The clinical features of six patients with various subtypes of HS and symptoms were observed by blood analysis using eosin-5'-maleimide staining, biochemical analysis using sodium dodecyl sulphate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with western blotting, and mass spectrometry.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the rapidly progressing malignancies which is characterized by unregulated proliferation of hematopoietic precursors. Technological improvements enhanced the availability of genetic AML biomarkers. The clinical relevance of these molecular markers for AML diagnosis, planning of therapy and risk stratification are increasing evidently.
