Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is accompanied by diminished functional potential. Wang et al. now provide evidence for an HSC-specific differentiation checkpoint mediated by the transcription factor BATF, which limits self-renewal of HSCs in response to the accumulation of DNA damage.
造血干细胞(HSCs)的衰老伴随着功能潜力的降低。Wang 等人现在提供了证据,证明转录因子 BATF 介导的 HSC 特异性分化检查点限制了 HSCs 对 DNA 损伤积累的自我更新。
