Abstract excerpt
Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) is an RNA-editing enzyme that converts adenosine to inosine, following RNA transcription. ADAR1's essential role in embryonic development, especially within the hematopoietic lineage, has been demonstrated in knock-out mice. However, a specific role for ADAR1 in adult hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) remains elusive. In this report, we show that ADAR1 is required...
