Dissecting the aging of hematopoietic stem cells by genetic tracing in vivo
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed work is focused on the aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which maintain constant blood production throughout life. Using a novel approach to the study of HSCs in intact organisms, we will characterize the function of HSCs during aging. The results may help elucidate the mechanisms of blood production abnormalities in the elderly, and pave the way for their therapeutic correction.
