A recent study published in [1] showed that matrix stiffness critically regulates hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche, and successfully engineered a soft bone marrow (BM) organoid to maintain and rejuvenate HSCs . In addition, BM stiffening was also identified as a novel aging hallmark of the hematopoietic system. Together, these important findings implicate matrix stiffness as a fundamental biomechanical factor governing cell fate determination and aging of tissue-specific stem cells.
最近发表在[1]上的一项研究表明,基质硬度对造血干细胞(HSC)微环境起着关键调节作用,并成功构建了一种软骨髓类器官来维持造血干细胞并使其恢复活力。此外,骨髓硬化也被确定为造血系统的一种新的衰老标志。这些重要发现共同表明,基质硬度是决定组织特异性干细胞命运和衰老的一个基本生物力学因素。
