Five projects led by researchers at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons have been funded by the New York State Stem Cell Science program (NYSTEM)
Proliferating stem cells may be predominantly maintained by repeated asymmetric division outcomes or by population asymmetry, involving neutral competition among individual stem cell lineages.
Saving Tiny Hearts Society- Mechanisms of cardiomyocyte renewal regulated by Nkx2.5 and Congenital Heart Defect Coalition- Mechanisms of Second Heart Field Development Regulated by crip Genes
Hirata et al has identified a unique regulatory T cell population which highly expresses a HSC marker (CD150), acting as stem cell protectants from immune attack and oxidative stress.
