Long-term in vivo imaging of bone marrow microenvironments in Multiple Myeloma.

白血球是免疫系统的战士。当控制这些细胞生长和死亡的机制被破坏时，这些细胞可能会经历大规模的扩张。这会导致血癌的发展，如多发性骨髓瘤(MM)。在多发性骨髓瘤中，恶性细胞渗入骨骼，阻止血液的产生，破坏骨骼结构，导致骨折。利用尖端显微镜，我们将观察MM细胞是如何生长和损伤骨组织的，以开发新的治疗方法。

White blood cells are soldiers of the immune system. When the machinery that controls growth and death of these cells is disrupted, these cells can undergo massive expansion. This leads to the development of blood cancers such as multiple myeloma (MM). In MM, malignant cells infiltrate bones preventing production of blood and damaging the bone structure leading to fractures. Using cutting edge microcopy we will watch how MM cells grow and damage bone tissue to develop new therapeutic approaches.
