Preclinical Evaluation of a Regimen Combining Chidamide and ABT-199 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Scientists reported that a newly emerged histone deacetylase inhibitor, chidamide, at low-cytotoxicity dose enhanced the anti-AML activity of ABT-199, while sparing normal hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Multi-Layered Spatial Transcriptomics Identify Secretory Factors Promoting Human Hematopoietic Stem Cell Development

To identify secreted signals underlying human hematopoietic stem cell development, scientists combined spatial transcriptomics analysis of dorsoventral polarized signaling in the aorta with gene expression profiling of sorted cell populations and single cells.
