Stem cells found in the bone marrow are crucial for our health because they are needed to become new blood cells that sustain and protect our bodies. But when the transformation goes wrong, harmful mutations can cause the cells to start replicating without control -- a type of cancer known as leukemia. Danilo Allegra and Dania Puggioni explain how this happens and how certain treatments provide hope for those suffering from the disease.
Lesson by Danilo Allegra and Dania Puggioni, animation by Zedem Media.

My sister had leukemia in her late teens 14 years ago, she received a bone marrow transplant and was cured. Unfortunately it came back last year. She received another bone marrow transplant but all the leukemia was not killed by the chemo she received. It came back more aggressive than ever and after putting up a hell of a battle, she passed away yesterday. Science needs to find a cure for this terrible disease. Until then, if you're up to it, register as a bone marrow doner.... you could be saving the life of someone's child/sibling.

I was 9 and my sister was 3 when she got leukaemia. After coming from the doctor with my mom, I told my father jokingly about it as if it was a cold or something special. I saw her bald and she went through treatment for 3 years. She had the transplant from my father without any luck; and, so, the last resort was to go in France and have a special treatment there. After a few days after she arrived in there the transplant wasn't needed anymore. She was good to come back home. My mom keeps calling this a miracle and so do I.

Sometimes, like when watching this video, I am struck by how complicated and powerful modern medicine is. "We will fight this cancer by destroying all your bones' stem cells, which we will then fix by giving you new stem cells from a donor, which we will find by using a global database of volunteers. And this system exists because we're just that good." If you go back even 20 or 30 years, this level of medical understanding and capability probably looks like magic.

medical science is fascinating, but even more fascinating is how regulated everything in our insides are. Imagine a body cell dividing, there is a mechanism for it to know when to stop dividing. If it becomes cancerous, it has a mechanism to kill itself before it gives rise to more cells. It also tries its best to alert cellular checkpoints that it has a hiding cancer inside it and the NK cells should kill it. When all that fails, that is when we have a cancer.

Our family is devastated and in shock, I hope everything is for the best

My son got an osteosarcoma on his tibia just below the kneecap. Doctor at Bos Child Hosp operated, removing the bone in a section just below the growth plate. He came home and grew new hair, looked great, but then got AML leukemia. and died of a heart attack months later. It's been life changing for my family. Never the same. He was 13 when he got it and 15 when he died. Our only consolation is in the Messiah, who is coming back for His church-- all those who believe in Him and His work on the cross-- pray today to receive Him. God bless.

Bardus equus let him be. I am not a religious person, by any means, but just let this person believe in what brings them happyness. It is really easy to be ignorant, just as you are, but if you think about it, why shouldn't everyone believe in what they want? Being in a religion doesn't mean that they don't support science and modern medicine. There is no reason to judge someone based just on their beliefs. So what? They want to believe in the moral principles that christianity sets. So be it. I don't care. As long as someone doesn't try to force me into their religion, I don't see a problem. It is really sad, how someone cannot even mention Christianity without being attacked in this forum of ignorance. This takes place under almost every video and I am well aware of the fact that I am participating, though I am trying to make people understand that religion is not something you should hate someone for. Think about it. This person shared something personal and what do you do? Attack one of the things that keep them closer to their son. For most people, the thought that someone is just a piece of compost after they die is a bit unsettling.

Thank you, Octom. Very well put. We buried our son in a pine casket, which breaks down very quickly. And lets the worms inside to eat their happy way. It matters not. King David's body saw corruption, the scriptures say, as do ours today, yet David will reign again as a co-regent with the Messiah in the millennial reign. Everyone will die. Well, not everyone. The great opus of the Christian heritage is the resurrection of Messiah, Jesus, and His ascension on high. No fact of history has been more thoroughly recorded. There are some who will ascend like Jesus in glorified bodies. I think you will find as we go through the coming days of testing more of a reason to believe in Him.

Octom *''but just let this person believe in what brings them happyness.''* Sure, let's just ignore the fact that he came with the intent to preach his wishful thoughts and doomsday scenarios. This is about the sole fact that mentioning his doctrine was unnecessary, it is equivalent to me going to a Christians family funeral and stating: *''I wish you guys luck, I feel bad for this horrible tragedy. Even though he **_doesn't exist anymore_** (because I'm Atheistic) I still wish you guys the best of luck.''* Don't try to justify the high moral ground with the crappy freedom of religion, he isn't significant in anyway and should be treated the same way any zealot waltz in with their doctrine, disapproval and subjection to bad social skills. *''It is really easy to be ignorant, just as you are''* That's nice, but just a empty epithet. *''why shouldn't everyone believe in what they want?''* When did I implicit that they shouldn't? I'm the one whom accepts the constitution and find it absolutely important in U.S society. But I'm not the one preaching, stigmatizing and stagnating technological development. *''Being in a religion doesn't mean that they don't support science and modern medicine.''* When did I imply this? Please quote. *'' There is no reason to judge someone based just on their beliefs''* What? So you shouldn't judge people who actively base their thoughts and inputs around their ideology, the ones who actively participate in their doctrine, share and ramble? This certainly tells a lot about a person, about who that person is. Joseph Stalin was a dictator, should I not judge him? Or should I not judge the Islamics for massacring and stigmatizing jews with propaganda? Just like the Nazi's did for their beliefs. You speak a lot of crap you left-winged progressive. *''As long as someone doesn't try to force me into their religion, I don't see a problem''* I love how you implicit that indoctrination of a doctrine is the *ONLY* problem a doctrine has to offer. As if they are all peaceful and not death cults. Your projections are nothing short of risible. *''It is really sad, how someone cannot even mention Christianity''* Considering the mass hypocrisy most doctrines do, stigmatizing other doctrines, stagnating them or attacking or persecuting non-believers such as in Afghanistan, Iraq, and some parts in South Africa in present days. *'' This takes place under almost every video and I am well aware of the fact that I am participating''* Self-refuting, Self-hating hypocrisy, and ecological fallacy. *'' people understand that religion is not something you should hate someone for.''* Guess I shouldn't hate ISIS then. Or the other millions that support them. Or what about turkey? Don't even get me started. *''Think about it. This person shared something personal and what do you do? Attack one of the things that keep them closer to their son. For most people, the thought that someone is just a piece of compost after they die is a bit unsettling.''* Quote from stilus *''Our only consolation is in the Messiah, who is coming back for His church-- all those who believe in Him and His work on the cross-- pray today to receive Him. God bless.''* Sounds more like Jehova-witness preach rambling than guilt-trip attention baiting. This was his intent, to preach and have people sympathize with him. It was completely random and unnecessary, no need to preach. This is the problem, with your cognitive dissonance and your projections, you clearly won't understand this. So I'm done with you both.

I think my father has a type of chronic leukemia. It means we can never cure it and it could come back any moment. But we can heal him ! He only had it once, it was a terrible and scary journey, but fortunately he did not have to get chemotherapy but another type of treatment, and after about a year, it worked ! He is now fully back to normal and being monitored every once in a while. Leukemia IS scary, but there is hope and sometimes it is not as bad as you think. Keep fighting ❤️

There was this kid I met at school. We weren’t really friends but we saw each other after 2nd period because we both had 3rd period in the C building. One day, we were both waiting for our teachers to come so we came to talk. Every day he would wait outside my classroom, and we would walk together. He ended up telling me that he had Leukemia. After 2 weeks, he stopped coming. I thought that he left the school or something so I didn’t worry, I tried texting him and he didn’t answer. That day during 3rd period, there was an announcement that he died. I really hope they can find a way to cure this. I also hope that people that have Leukemia recover soon.

We miss you SMILIN RYLAN! 🙏 Childhood Cancer only gets 4% of of donation money, so please donate as much as you can and also spread the word. The more donations, the more kids survive.

My grandma has leukaemia at the moment. They are very sick. They started with blood cancer but that has evolved into leukaemia. My grandma is having breathing difficulties and are on oxygen. The doctor says that there is nothing they can do about it. No cure. I was shocked and mentally unwell when I heard about this. The doctor says they only have a few more hours or a day to live. I’m mentally in pain because of this. But I want to have faith. My grandma is very week and unconscious. I just hope everything bees okay. There’s so much stress and pain as we grow up. I just want to wish everyone the best, if your reading this. Stay safe everyone!❤️

My wife and I lost our just turned 2 year old son 7 months ago to Aml. He had MLL gene rearrangement or subtype KMT2A or 11q23. He had a translocation between chromosomes 6 and 11, t(6;11). He received cytarabine, daunorubicin, etoposide, gemtuzumab ozagamicin then mitoxNtrone and cytarabine. He relapsed after the second chemo which signified refractory Aml which had a poor prognosis. Decitabine with mylotarg was then used. He died shortly after from within 4 months of treatment. Some side effects he had were bloody nausea and diahrea. Horrible bloody mouth sores. He was in pain all over. His right eye was covered by a leukemia pool that ended up bleeding.He had a lot of liquid in his lungs which they thought was pnemonia. He ultimately died from a brain bleed within 24 hours caused we think by the chemo.

My grandmother was diagnosed with lukemia around the same time my mother found out she was pregnant with me and my twin. She won the battle in 2022 and then died in 2023. She was one tough cookie for winning against Lukemia, in fact she was tough for even being faced with such an opponent in the first place. I hope all other cancer patients can have a similar experience and finally hear the words “Your body is now cancer-free” and return safely to their families knowing the threat is gone.

Nomado i think it's just a blood plasma thing, no surgery, it's just blood. Edit: i just did a little bit of research, there's apparently different ways to donate blood marrow, some of them are just about collecting stem cells from the blood through a long process, others are a little bit more invasive as they're about taking bone marrow directly from the hip, they go for just a few minutes, but they have a longer recovery time.

Nomado Yes, you undergo surgery. Marrow is taken out of your pelvis. I am on the donor list and my name came up as a match. I had to go in for further testing along with others who matched until they could find the best candidate. The techs explained the procedure and you have to sign a waiver that you know the risks involved. It's not an easy surgery and it takes time to heal. Turns out they had a better match and I was not chosen.

When I was 8 I lost my mother to terminal leukaemia.When I was 16, I was diagnosed with a cancer-like brain tumour (Germinoma). The last lot of chemotherapy I had was a stem cell transplant, luckily before I had any treatment at all, as a precaution, I went through a stem cell harvest, so I didn't need a donor. The chemotherapy I had before the stem cell transplant damn near killed me, not only did I lose my hair, my lips peeled like crazy, the skin on my chest flaked off, I eventually re-grew new finger and toe nails out from my old ones, which was one of the weirdest things I've felt. I would not wish that on my worst enemy, but I have some really great doctors, who instilled a lot of confidence in me that it was beatable, and I believe my mindset through the whole thing was a huge factor in my recovery. So yeah that's a quick rundown of my story, there's a whooole lot more to it though. If you made it this far, thank you 🙏🏻

Roman geigns we love you😎😍 Leukemia, also spelled leukaemia, is a group of cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells.[8] These white blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells.[2] Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising problems, feeling tired, fever, and an increased risk of infections.[2] These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells.[2] Diagnosis is typically made by blood tests or bone marrow biopsy.[2]
