What are Common Disorders Involving Myeloid Cells?
Several disorders can affect myeloid cells:
- Leukemias: Malignancies of myeloid cells, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). - Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): Group of disorders caused by poorly formed or dysfunctional myeloid cells. - Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis involve dysregulated myeloid cell activity. - Infections: Myeloid cells are key players in the response to bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.
