An experiment tests whether a protein treatment can help hematopoietic stem cells recover after mice are exposed to radiation.

A byproduct of alcohol consumption causes mutations in the DNA of mouse blood stem cells, and some of the breaks are not repaired.

The year’s most impressive achievements include new methods to extend CRISPR editing, patch-clamp neurons hands-free, and analyze the contents of live cells.

High levels of vitamin C absorbed by blood-forming stem cells are important for their normal development. 

High-dose vitamin C injections reverse the effects of a leukemia-promoting genetic deficiency.

Researchers identify transcription factors and environmental conditions necessary to reprogram human and mouse cells into cells that function like hematopoietic stem cells.

Artificial bones produce new blood cells in mice, obviating the need for irradiation to kill off resident hematopoietic stem cells in recipients.

Sequencing and gene-editing advances make tracing a cell’s journey throughout development easier than ever.

Researchers say they have sufficient in vitro and animal data to apply for human testing.
