Pluripotent Stem Cells Take Over From Blood Stem Cells for Future Transplant Therapies
New research published in Stem Cell Reports from Jinyong Wang and colleagues with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Guangzhou Medical University has now optimized a combination of proteins, so-called transcription factors, which when introduced in mouse PSCs convert them to HSPCs in the dish. When transplanted into mice with impaired HSPCs, the PSC-derived cells generated all types of white blood cells over a period of 6 months. Importantly, the transplanted HSPCs did not give rise to tumors or leukemias in the receiving mice.
