Ep. 273: “Hematopoiesis and Cancer” Featuring Dr. Irving Weissman
Description
Guest:
Dr. Irving Weissman is the Virginia and Daniel Ludwig Professor of Clinical Cancer Research and Professor of Pathology and Developmental Biology at Stanford University. Dr. Weissman was the first scientist to identify and isolate mammalian blood-forming stem cells in mice, and his work has contributed to the understanding of how a single hematopoietic stem cell can give rise to specialized blood cells. He talks about developing new treatments for metastatic breast cancer and severe combined immunodeficiency. He also discusses myeloid bias in aging and strategies for commercializing new therapies.
Featured Products and Resources:
- Keep current with the latest in hematopoiesis news.
- Find educational resources to help you further your research on hematopoiesis and hematological malignancies.
The Stem Cell Science Round Up
Tracking Somitogenesis – Scientists used live imaging to track cellular and signaling dynamics during somite formation.
Modeling Interstitial Flow in the Intestine – Researchers constructed a micro-small intestine system to study the mechanisms underlying intestinal tissue development.
IL-11 Signaling in Aging – Inhibiting IL-11 extends the healthspan and lifespan of mice.
Mapping Brain Vasculature – Scientists constructed a molecular atlas of the developing fetal, adult control, and diseased human brain vasculature.
