A research group at Lund University in Sweden has found that when the HLF (hepatic leukemia factor) gene –which is expressed in immature blood cells – does not shut down on time, we are unable to develop a functional long-term immune system. This could be a very early stage of leukemia. Blood stem cells give rise to all of our blood cells: the red blood cells that transport oxygen, the platelets t
