Discovering A New Marker for Human Blood Stem Cells – Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Research

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Research shared a post on X:

“Our researchers Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, discover a new marker called ATP2B1 that identifies a rare group of blood stem cells that are especially good at repopulation and self-renewal – offering a new way to study how blood stem cells stay healthy over time.”

To which Stephanie Xie, Scientist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Assistant Professor at University of Toronto, added:

“Proud of the the collaborative spirit, shared curiosity, and collective effort of the team! So excited to the publication of ATP2B1, a new surface marker to dissect human HSC heterogeneity. Deeply grateful esp to the participants that donate cell material for blood research.”
