More ethnically diverse bone marrow donors needed to save lives – Mail and Guardian

A lack of ethnic diversity among donors, coupled with cultural myths, have led to a paucity of bone marrow donors, resulting in hundreds of avoidable deaths caused by leukaemia and other blood-related diseases. According to Jane Ward, the deputy director of the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR), the lack of sufficient education to counter cultural beliefs, especially among black South Africans, contributes to donor resistance

CRISPRoff: A New Addition to the CRISPR Toolbox – Technology Networks

Over the past decade, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized genetic engineering, allowing scientists to make targeted changes to organisms DNA. While the system could potentially be useful in treating a variety of diseases, CRISPR-Cas9 editing involves cutting DNA strands, leading to permanent changes to the cells genetic material. Now, in a paper published online in Cell on April 9, researchers describe a new gene editing technology called CRISPRoff that allows researchers to control gene expression with high specificity while leaving the sequence of the DNA unchanged.

Molecular Switch Identified That Flips from Self-Renewal to Specialization in the Making of a Kidney – Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Self-renewal and specialization are two opposing functions in progenitor cells. Scientists resolve the mechanisms behind the opposing developmental actions of beta-catenin, a co-activator of the established molecular Wnt signaling pathway, that paradoxically regulates both self-renewal and specialization of mammalian progenitor cells destined to become kidney cells. The new study led by Andrew McMohan, PhD, chair of the department of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California, reports high levels of beta-catenin trigger a switch in part of the Wnt pathway that relies on transcription factors known as TCF/LEF

Researchers reveal pathways that lead to the development of tissue-resident lymphocytes – News-Medical.Net

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), teamed up with scientists from Aix Marseille University, discovered that hematopoietic progenitors possessed the differentiation potential to type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) in adult liver, and dissected the regulation mechanisms of such cell differentiation, revealing the pathways that lead to the development of tissue-resident lymphocytes. This study was published in Science
