Acute myeloid leukaemia, micrograph
Acute myeloid leukaemia. Light micrograph of blood cells from bone marrow in a case of acute myeloid leukaemia. These cells include a monocytoid myeloblast stem cell. Leukaemia is a cancer where certain blood cells form in excess. There are several acute forms, classified according to the type of cell affected. Acute myeloid leukaemia is a cancer affecting the myeloid tissue (bone marrow), specifically the white blood cell precursors (myeloblasts) that form a type of white blood cell known as granulocytes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of acute myeloid leukaemia, a devastating form of cancer that affects the bone marrow and disrupts normal blood cell production. The image reveals a light micrograph of blood cells extracted from the bone marrow in an individual suffering from this aggressive disease. In this snapshot, we can observe various abnormal cells, including a monocytoid myeloblast stem cell. Acute myeloid leukaemia is characterized by an overproduction of certain blood cells, leading to their accumulation and crowding out healthy cells. This disruption in the delicate balance within our circulatory system can have severe consequences for overall health. Leukaemia encompasses several acute forms categorized based on the specific type of affected cell. In this case, it is the white blood cell precursors known as myeloblasts that are impacted. These myeloblasts normally develop into granulocytes, an essential component of our immune system responsible for fighting infections. The striking visual representation provided by this light micrograph not only highlights the pathological nature of acute myeloid leukaemia but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against cancer within the human body. It underscores both the complexity and importance of research in haematology, pathology, oncology, and immunology to combat such malignant diseases effectively. Science Photo Library continues to contribute invaluable resources like this image to advance medical knowledge and inspire further exploration into understanding and treating conditions like acute myeloid leukaemia.
