Guest:

Dr. Lars Velten is a Group Leader at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona. He talks about his research on cell-state-specific enhancers in hematopoiesis and lineage tracing techniques to study blood aging. He also discusses combining generative AI with wet lab techniques and the advantages of risk-taking in basic research.

The Stem Cell Science Round Up

HSPC Aging in Space – Spaceflight reduces telomere maintenance and HSPC self-renewal.

Modeling Myelin Repair – Brain organoids with integrated microglia enabled the investigation of demyelination and remyelination.

Gastric Cancer Organoids – Scientists identified ligand-receptor pairs likely to be involved in fetal HSC migration and maintenance.

Gastroids to Model Stomach Development – This study reveals a principle for instructing gastric patterning and provides a platform for advancing knowledge of stomach organogenesis.
