In situ visualisation of cell fate commitment in haematopoiesis, immune cells and tissue remodelling.

白血球是保护我们免受感染的免疫系统的关键组成部分。它们的生长受到严格的控制，当它们出现故障时，它们会迅速扩张，导致血癌和/或自身免疫性疾病。这项工作的目的是利用尖端技术在自然环境中观察这些致病细胞，以便我们更好地了解它们的优势和劣势。这些信息将帮助我们设计针对这些毁灭性疾病的新疗法。

White blood cells are the key components of the immune system that protect us from infection. Their growth is tightly regulated, and when they malfunction, they can expand rapidy to cause blood cancers and or autoimmune diseases. The aim of this work is to use cutting edge technology to observe these disease causing cells in their natural environment so we can better understand their strengths and weaknesses. This information will help us design new treatments for these devastating diseases.
