Misfolded proteins are associated with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. New research reveals that misfolded proteins also impair stem cell function and tissue regeneration. cell.com/cell-reports/f… #stemcell #proteostasis #sparkjoy

The proteostasis network functions uniquely in hematopoietic stem cells to promote their life-long regenerative function. Learn more in our latest review in CO Hematology. journals.lww.com/co-hematology/…

Why do ribosomal mutations only impair certain cell types? Developmental stage-specific changes in protein synthesis differentially sensitize hematopoietic stem cells and erythroid progenitors to impaired ribosome biogenesis. New preprint w/@Magee_Lab. disq.us/t/3r7tu57

Attention hematopoiesis community: Have you ever been confused about which set of markers to use to identify HSCs and MPPs? We hope to bring clarity & unity to the field. Tune in to this important ISEH webinar on Tuesday, November 10th!

Why do some genetic disorders present in kids and others in adults? Our new paper w/@Magee_Lab reveals that BIG changes in protein synthesis during ontogeny sensitize distinct hematopoietic cell types to a ribosomal mutation in an age-dependent manner. cell.com/stem-cell-repo…

While we’re focused on the BIG discoveries that enabled the rapid development of the #COVID vaccine, let’s not forget the engine that powered it: trainees, long days, failed experiments, rejection, persistence, resiliency. This is progress. This is science.

DOUBLE THE NIH BUDGET. Science is critical for our economy, health & security. Science is conquering #COVID and is essential for tackling future pandemics and other diseases. But science is woefully underfunded. NOW IS THE TIME.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the culture. Our latest paper in Cell Stem Cell uncovers how HSF1 keeps stem cells fit in a dish. 🔥💪 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S19…

.UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers unlock a way to keep lab-grown stem cells healthy, which is positive news for people who need bone marrow transplants when donor stem cells are not available. The approach may also help further aging research. ow.ly/nSpg50FR4Vi

Why is it so difficult to grow hematopoietic stem cells in culture? Huge increases in protein synthesis disrupt proteostasis in HSCs ex vivo. HSF1 comes to the rescue ex vivo & during aging to keep stem cells fit. Our latest now in print Cell Stem Cell cell.com/cell-stem-cell… 🧵
