The regulation of human β-globin gene switching by promoter competition

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Blood transfusions are a major lifesaving aspect of modern medicine and rely on voluntary blood donations. However, a worldwide shortage of blood donations along with the risk of transmission of infectious diseases led scientists to research how to generate blood in the laboratory using stem cells or progenitor cells. Amongst the limitations they are faced with is the fact that human embryonic stem cells, due to t...
