<p style="text-align:start">In a new mouse study published in<em> Science Advances</em>, researchers from the USC Stem Cell lab of Rong Lu describe how specific gene activity could potentially enhance immune cell production. The researchers wanted to understand the mechanism of why some hematopoietic stem cells produce more immune cells, while other stem cells produce fewer. The research team pioneered new techniques for understanding the quantitative association between immune cell production and gene expression in lab mice. The scientists labeled individual stem c...
