Recommendation
Mitch Leslie of Science magazine provides a narrative covering recent advances in the understanding of a rare blood cell imbalance called clonal hematopoiesis. He reveals discoveries that jolted the field and brought this perplexing condition out of obscurity. Previously thought to be rare and harmless, new technologies expose blood imbalance as a precursor to cancer, heart disease and other age-related diseases. Eventually, half of the population may be affected by clonal hematopoiesis. getAbstract recommends this article to those concerned with age-related illnesses.
