Scientists create novel model that shows progression from normal blood cells to leukemia

Researchers have created a novel model that shows the step-by-step progression from normal blood cells to leukemia and its precursor diseases, creating replicas of the stages of the disease to test the efficacy of therapeutic interventions at each stage, according to a study. This research marked the first time scientists have been able to transplant leukemia from humans to a test tube and then into mice for study.
