Tracing early mutations in blood stem cells could shed light on the development and progression of an immune cell disorder mainly affecting children.
A new international research project will study early mutations in blood stem cells believed to drive several cancerous and non-cancerous conditions. The collaboration will focus on Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare immune cell disorder primarily affecting children.
By mapping mutation patterns, researchers hope to understand how and when the disease-causing changes occur, potentially leading to more precise and effective treatments that could be implemented earlier in the disease process.
