CINCINNATI , March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to an unusual application of game theory and machine learning technology, a large team of scientists led by experts at Cincinnati Children's has published the world's most detailed "atlas" of the many types of stem cells and early progenitors involved in producing human blood from diverse donors.

Key Points: 
  • The team has identified more than 80 distinct subsets of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) – early-stage cells that kick off production of mature red cells, white cells and other elements of our complex blood system.
  • Among the team's key findings:
    Mixing a new "cocktail" of 132 antibodies that can target surface proteins on HSPCs and related cells.
  • Testing demonstrated that the new mix outperforms commercial products for profiling human bone marrow cells.
  • One of the most immediate potential applications of the new stem cell atlas centers on how treatment centers monitor patients receiving therapies for leukemia.

CINCINNATI, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine being able to count the different types of blood cells being formed inside the tiny bones of a mouse and pinpointing the strings and clusters of cells within the bone marrow that are responsible for producing specific types of blood cells.

Key Points: 
  • "Meanwhile, efforts to stimulate production of certain blood cell types may be dramatically improved by focusing on specific bone types."
  • The key discoveries reported in the paper include:
    New tools allowing visualization of blood production inside the bone, allowing defining the basic anatomy of blood cell formation.
  • Among several examples: blood loss triggered rapid red blood cell production in the sternum, tibia, vertebrae, and humerus -- but not in the skull.
  • Importantly, the process developed for this study allowed the team to analyze blood cell development in multiple parts of the skeleton.
