What is the Stem Cells Journal Club?
The Stem Cells Journal Club is a way to get the ‘inside scoop’ on the development of some inspirational hematology papers.
It’s an opportunity for you to take part in friendly and informal online sessions where invited speakers will share:
- Insights into their successes and failures
- Relatable, memorable, and funny anecdotes about conducting their research
- Stories about other impactful moments
Speaker
Shoichiro Takeishi is a physician-scientist who obtained his MD and PhD at Kyushu University, Japan. His PhD research provided proof-of-concept that quiescence in leukemic stem cells contributes to their therapeutic resistance. He now investigates the extrinsic regulation of normal hematopoietic and malignant stem cells.
What will be discussed
- A new bone transplantation system to increase the availability of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niches
- Restriction of HSC numbers at systemic and local levels
- Mechanisms regulating HSC numbers at the systemic level
The article
Haematopoietic stem cell number is not solely defined by niche availability
