  Experimental Hematology: Young Investigator articles of 2023 Experimental Hematology has reviewed articles published in 2023.   Among the articles highlighted are two Young Investigator articles that both explore important biological questions in normal and malignant hematopoiesis using murine models. Rydström et al investigate how the hematopoietic stem cells regenerate after transplantation. The process where quiescent hematopoietic stem cells start to proliferate to replenish the hematopoietic system, and how they gradually return to homeostasis and quiescence is studied. To capture the dynamics of the process, HSPCs were transplanted and 8 different timepoints surveyed. The repopulating cells were studied at the transcriptional and functional levels. Differential expression of cell cycle genes and metabolic changes were observed during the process. The authors also investigate the functional capacity of the regenerating HSCs and found that it increases with time. Altogether

  Samanta Mariani’s lab From left to right - Hollie Vaughan (PhD student) - Malgorzata Rumowksa (visiting student) - Samanta Mariani - Hena Modha (Master student) - Eva Doyle (PhD student) Each month, Simply Blood spotlights a lab contributing to the fields of hematology, immunology, stem cell research, cell and gene therapies, and more. Get to know groups doing cutting edge research from around the world! This month, we are featuring the Mariani Lab which is based out of the Centre for Inflammation Research, The University of Edinburgh. How long have you had your lab and how many members make up your lab?  Three years now. Brief but very intense. Currently, we have two PhD students, one Master student and one visiting student. What is the major research theme of your lab? Our major interest is to understand how embryonic macrophages interact with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells at steady-state and in mouse models of infant leukemia, where the leukemic cells first appear in

  It’s a wrap for the 53rd ISEH Annual Scientific Meeting that took place at the Sheraton Hotel from 29 August - 01 September 2024. Each year, the international community comes together to share the newest techniques and fascinating advances in the field of experimental hematology. This year we were hosted in the windy city with 449 scientists and ISEH members from 30 different countries from around the world that attended (around 40-45% trainees). In contrast to larger conferences like ASH, the ISEH meetings, with fewer than 500 attendees, offer a more intimate setting with exceptional networking opportunities, allowing you to connect with people closely aligned with your work. We would like to start our highlights with a picture from one of our trainees from the New Investigators session: Dr. Xinjian Mao was showing the reconstitution of mouse E11.5 trunk section by Slide-seq and Merfish. Green cells: aortic endothelial cells , Red cells: mesenchymal stromal cells Day 1) Session on h

       Thank You Sponsors & Exhibitors The 53rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Society for Experimental Hematology meeting is taking place now in Chicago, United States. The exciting program (https://www.iseh.org/page/2024ScientificProgram) includes career and technology sessions, networking events, as well as talks and poster presentations from trainees, new investigators and leaders in the field. On behalf of the ISEH Board of Directors, volunteers and staff, we'd like to thank our 2024 sponsors and exhibitors, seen below. We hope to see you all again in 2025!
