Ex vivo human HSC expansion requires coordination of cellular reprogramming with mitochondrial remodeling and p53 activation
22 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The limited number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in umbilical cord blood (UCB) units restricts their use for stem cell transplantation. Ex vivo treatment of UCB-CD34+ cells with valproic acid (VPA) increases the number of transplantable HSCs. In this study, we demonstrate that HSC expansion is not merely a result of proliferation of the existing stem cells but, rather, a result of a rapid...
