Deletion of Lamin B1 Linked to Nuclear Abnormalities Seen in Cancer

March 11, 2022 | Categories: Research, Uncategorized | Tagged: , ,

Using gene-editing tools to decrease expression of lamin B1 in two stem cell models, the researchers show that deletion of lamin B1 causes change in stem cell function and nuclear shape – and contributes to leukemia progression. Read More

Research from Doulatov Lab in the Journal Blood Offers Stem Cell-Aided Insights on MDS Onset

June 13, 2019 | Categories: Research | Tagged: , ,

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are heterogenous blood disorders that affect up to 170,000 people in the United States, primarily over the age of 60. While early symptoms, including anemia (characterized by fatigue), are not serious, MDS is a high-risk factor for leukemia. Currently there are few treatment for MDS and the causes remain poorly understood. Read More
