A Latent Subset of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells Resists Regenerative Stress to Preserve Stemness

Scientists identified distinct subsets of human long-term-HSCs that responded differently to regeneration-mediated stress: an immune checkpoint ligand CD112lo subset that exhibited a transient engraftment restraint before contributing to hematopoietic reconstitution and a primed CD112hi subset that responded rapidly.

C/EBPβ Is a MYB- and p300-Cooperating Pro-leukemogenic Factor and Promising Drug Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Scientists characterized a group of natural sesquiterpene lactones, previously shown to suppress MYB activity, for their potential to decrease AML cell proliferation.

miR-204-5p and Platelet Function Regulation: Insight into a Mechanism Mediated by CDC42 and GPIIbIIIa

Human hematopoietic stem cells were differentiated into megakaryocytes, enabling the transfection of miR-204-5p and the recovery of subsequent platelet-like structures.

YTHDF2 Is a Potential Target of AML1/ETO-HIF1α Loop-Mediated Cell Proliferation in t(8; 21) AML

Scientists showed that YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2 (YTHDF2) was highly expressed in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and associated with a higher risk of relapse and inferior relapse-free survival. Knockdown of YTHDF2 in leukemia cells caused an impaired cell proliferation rate in vitro and in mice.

A 3D iPSC-Differentiation Model Identifies Interleukin-3 as a Regulator of Early Human Hematopoietic Specification

Researchers used induced pluripotent stem cell technology and established a 3D, organoid-like differentiation system maintaining the structural cellular integrity to evaluate the effect of cytokines on embryonic hematopoietic development.

3D Bioprinting Allows the Establishment of Long-Term 3D Culture Model for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells

The authors exploited for the first time 3D bioprinting to advance in vitro models for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). They monitored over time CLL cells viability, phenotype and gene expression, thus establishing a reproducible long-term 3D culture model for leukemia.
