Scientists unlock mechanism that keeps blood stem cells young and functional

Researchers have identified how a cellular recycling process called autophagy protects blood-forming stem cells by controlling their growth. The discovery could lead to better treatments for blood cancers and therapies that extend the lifespan of transplanted stem cells—potentially transforming how doctors manage leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders.
