    The
    Transition from Quiescent to Activated States in Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells Is Governed by Dynamic 3D Genome Reorganization

    Scientists used single-cell and bulk assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing on human HSCs and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell subsets to uncover chromatin accessibility signatures, one including long-term (LT)-HSCs and another excluding LT-HSCs.

    Longitudinal
    Multi-Omics Analyses Identify Responses of Megakaryocytes, Erythroid Cells and Plasmablasts as Hallmarks of Severe COVID-19 Trajectories

    Researchers performed a longitudinal multi-omics study using a two-centre cohort of 14 patients. They analyzed the bulk transcriptome, bulk DNA methylome, and single-cell transcriptome of peripheral blood samples harvested from up to five time points.

    A
    Stem Cell Reporter Based Platform to Identify and Target Drug Resistant Stem Cells in Myeloid Leukemia

    Investigators showed that a knock-in reporter mouse for the stem cell gene Musashi 2 allowed identification of leukemia stem cells in aggressive myeloid malignancies, and provided a strategy for defining their core dependencies.

    Inhibition
    of the Anti-Apoptotic Protein MCL-1 Severely Suppresses Human Hematopoiesis

    To predict side effects of therapeutic MCL-1 inhibition on the human hematopoietic system, the authors used RNAi and the small molecule inhibitor S63845 on cord blood-derived CD34+ cells.

    Clonal Hematopoiesis before, during, and after Human Spaceflight

    Researchers analyzed clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in blood samples from a pair of twin astronauts over four years in bulk and fractionated cell populations using a targeted CH panel, linked-read whole-genome sequencing, and deep RNA sequencing.

    Definitive
    Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells from Human Embryonic Stem Cells through Serum/Feeder-Free Organoid-Induced Differentiation

    To derive definitive hematopoietic stem/precursor cells from human embryonic stem cells, scientists differentiated mesodermally specified embryoid bodies on gelatin-coated plates in serum/feeder-free conditions.

    Characterization
    and Generation of Human Definitive Multipotent Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells

    Investigators resolved human hematopoietic populations at the earliest hematopoiesis stage by single-cell RNA-seq. They characterized the distinct molecular profiling between early primitive and definitive hematopoiesis in both human embryonic stem cell differentiation and early embryonic development.

    AMD3100
    Re-Dosing Fails to Repeatedly Mobilize Hematopoietic Stem Cells in the Non-Human Primate and Humanized Mouse

    Researchers investigated the mobilization efficacy of repeated AMD3100 dosages in the non-human primate and humanized mouse models. In non-human primates they demonstrated effective mobilization after the first AMD3100 administration but significantly poorer response in CD34+ and HSC-enriched CD90+ cells with subsequent doses of the drug.
