Identification of a Factor That Rescues Dysregulated Endocytosis in Cultured Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells (UCLA Case No. 2023-051)
UCLA researchers in the Departments of Molecular, Cell & Developmental Biology have developed a novel method to enhance the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to improve the transplantability of ex vivo expanded human HSCs in clinical settings. BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), present in blood and bone marrow, can form mature...

Identification of a Factor that Promotes Human HSC Self-Renewal
Case 2016-990The Mikkola group at UCLA has discovered a novel regulator of hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. The overexpression of this regulator increases the yield of ex vivo stem cell expansion and could thereby improve the efficiency of stem cell therapies. BACKGROUNDBlood cells are responsible for the maintenance and immune protection of nearly...
