Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sustain life-long hematopoiesis and emerge during mid-gestation from hemogenic endothelial progenitors via an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). The full scope of molecular mechanisms governing this process remains unclear. The NR4A subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors act as tumor suppressors in myeloid leukemogenesis and have never been implicated in HSC specification.

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is nearly universal in the elderly. The molecular and cellular mechanisms driving CH and the clinical consequences of carrying clonally derived mutant mature blood cells are poorly understood. We recently identified a C223Y mutation in the extracellular domain (ECD) of NOTCH3 as a putative CH driver in mice.

Mammalian hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge from the hemogenic endothelium in the major embryonic arteries. HSCs undergo a complex journey first migrating to the fetal liver (FL) and from there to the fetal bone marrow (FBM), where they mostly remain during adult life. In this process, a pool of adult HSCs is produced, which sustains lifelong hematopoiesis.

This work explores the integration of generative pretrained transformer (GPT), an AI language model developed by OpenAI, as an assistant in low-cost virtual escape games. The study focuses on the synergy between virtual reality (VR) and GPT, aiming to evaluate its performance in helping solve logical challenges within a specific context in the virtual environment while acting as a personalized assistant through voice interaction. The findings from user evaluations revealed both positive perceptions and limitations of GPT in addressing highly complex challenges, indicating its potential as a valuable tool for providing assistance and guidance in problem-solving situations.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can generate all blood cells. This ability is exploited in HSC transplantation (HSCT) to treat hematologic disease. A clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate HSCT is necessary to continue improving transplant protocols.
