METHODS FOR EXPANSION OF HEMATOPOIETIC STEM AND PROGENITOR CELLS

摘要

Described herein are methods and compositions for expanding hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) ex vivo and in vivo, and methods and compositions for transplanting HSPCs and treatment of anemia in a human subject. HSPCs are expanded in the presence of an inhibitor of serine threonine kinase 38 (STK38), wherein said inhibitor is preferably an RNAi agent.
