-
Can survival of the fittest or random mutations explain how a hemocytoblast (first stage) could change (mature) into a proerythroblast, whose only apparent job is to change (mature) into an erythroblast, whose job is to become a normoblast and then a reticulocyte and finally a red blood cell?
-
Consequently, the erythroblast can undergo maturation.
-
Prior to this report, chromosomal rearrangements accounted for all erythroblast transformation-specific gene fusions associated with prostate cancer.
