The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells.

FLI-1 pushes them into an activated, regenerative state—greatly improving their ability to expand and restore the blood cell supply in a new host. The mutations that drive overactivity of FLI-1 are ...
