Circulating HSPCs enhance their self-renewal by augmenting the endocytosis and lysosomal acidity via MIF-(CXCR4_CD74)-ATP6V1A axis
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports that circulating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) enhance their self-renewal.
- The reported mechanism involves increased endocytosis and lysosomal acidity.
- The headline names a MIF-(CXCR4_CD74)-ATP6V1A axis as the pathway involved.
Why it matters
It offers a proposed molecular mechanism by which circulating blood stem cells maintain self-renewal, which is relevant to stem cell and hematopoiesis research.
