Identification of a Factor That Rescues Dysregulated Endocytosis in Cultured Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells (UCLA Case No. 2023-051)

UCLA researchers in the Departments of Molecular, Cell & Developmental Biology have developed a novel method to enhance the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to improve the transplantability of ex vivo expanded human HSCs in clinical settings. BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), present in blood and bone marrow, can form mature...
