Long Non-Coding RNAs: New Players in Hematopoiesis and Leukemia [PDF]
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression that influence almost every step in the life cycle of genes, from transcription to mRNA splicing, RNA decay, and translation.

MEIS1 regulates early erythroid and megakaryocytic cell fate
MEIS1 is a transcription factor expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and in mature megakaryocytes. This biphasic expression of MEIS1 suggests that the function of MEIS1 in stem cells is distinct from its function in lineage committed ...

RNA-Binding Protein Expression Alters Upon Differentiation of Human B Cells and T Cells
B cells and T cells are key players in the defence against infections and malignancies. To exert their function, B cells and T cells differentiate into effector and memory cells. Tight regulation of these differentiation processes is key to prevent their

In vitro human embryonic stem cell hematopoiesis mimics MYB-independent yolk sac hematopoiesis [PDF]
Although hematopoietic precursor activity can be generated in vitro from human embryonic stem cells, there is no solid evidence for the appearance of multipotent, self-renewing and transplantable hematopoietic stem cells.

The Shape Shifting Story of Reticulocyte Maturation
The final steps of erythropoiesis involve unique cellular processes including enucleation and reorganization of membrane proteins and the cytoskeleton to produce biconcave erythrocytes. Surprisingly this process is still poorly understood.

Expression profiling of snoRNAs in normal hematopoiesis and AML [PDF]
Key Points A subset of snoRNAs is expressed in a developmental- and lineage-specific manner during human hematopoiesis. Neither host gene expression nor alternative splicing accounted for the observed differential expression of snoRNAs in ...

Differential Hox expression in murine embryonic stem cell models of normal and malignant hematopoiesis [PDF]
The Hox family are master transcriptional regulators of developmental processes, including hematopoiesis. The Hox regulators, caudal homeobox factors (Cdx1-4), and Meis1, along with several individual Hox proteins, are implicated in stem cell expansion ...

Large-scale in vitro production of red blood cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
: Transfusion of donor-derived red blood cells (RBC) is the most common form of cellular therapy. Donor availability and the potential risk of alloimmunization and other transfusion-related complications may, however, limit the availability of ...

Blimp-1 Rather Than Hobit Drives the Formation of Tissue-Resident Memory CD8+ T Cells in the Lungs
Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T (TRM) cells that develop in the epithelia at portals of pathogen entry are important for improved protection against re-infection.

FHL2 regulates hematopoietic stem cell functions under stress conditions. [PDF]
FHL2, a member of the four and one half LIM domain protein family, is a critical transcriptional modulator. Here, we identify FHL2 as a critical regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that is essential for maintaining HSC self-renewal under ...
