Acute promyelocytic leukaemia, micrograph
Acute promyelocytic leukaemia. Light micrograph of blood cells from bone marrow in a case of acute promyelocytic leukaemia. 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 promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). AML is a cancer affecting the myeloid tissue (bone marrow), and APL specifically affects a type of white blood cell precursor (promyelocytes) that form a type of white blood cell known as granulocytes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL), a subtype of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). The image showcases a light micrograph of blood cells extracted from bone marrow affected by this aggressive form of cancer. APL is characterized by an excessive production of promyelocytes, which are white blood cell precursors that give rise to granulocytes. Leukaemia, a malignant condition where certain blood cells proliferate uncontrollably, poses significant challenges to the human body's circulatory and immune systems. This histological snapshot offers a glimpse into the cellular abnormalities associated with this disease. The photograph not only serves as a powerful reminder of the impact leukaemia has on our biology but also highlights the importance of haematology and oncology in understanding and combating such conditions. It provides valuable insights for researchers, pathologists, and medical professionals dedicated to studying and treating these complex diseases. As we delve into this microscopic realm through the lens of a light microscope, we witness both beauty and devastation intertwined within each cell. Science Photo Library's dedication to capturing these hauntingly beautiful images allows us to appreciate their scientific significance while raising awareness about crucial health issues like APL.
