Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their progeny sustain lifetime hematopoiesis. Aging alters HSC function, number, and composition and increases risk of hematological malignancies, but how these changes occur in HSCs remains unclear. Signaling via p38 mitogen-activated kinase (p38MAPK) has been proposed as a candidate mechanism underlying induction of HSC aging. Here, using genetic models of both chronological...
