Couldn’t find a dedicated stem cell biology starter pack, so started one here: go.bsky.app/UTW4d7b

Feel free to repost/share and let me know if you would like to be added. #stemcell #pluripotency

UHN marks the passing of Dr. James Till, whose work with Dr. Ernest McCulloch first demonstrated the existence of blood-forming stem cells in 1961 at Ontario Cancer Institute, now Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

His work has helped launch the field of #stemcell science.

🚨Out today in @natimmunol.nature.com, a study from @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social’s Dr. Anastasia Tikhonova identifies distinctive early changes in the bone marrow environment in people with age-related blood #StemCell mutations, before blood cancer develops.

In people with age-related blood stem cell mutations, our study found early pre-fibrosis and inflammatory regions in the bone marrow, that may set the stage for blood cancer development.
