Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is a severe complication in elderly cancer patients. New research shows that dietary restriction mitigates CIT in aged mice via mitochondrial potentiation in hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitors. https://ow.ly/VpFm50YEMX5
A nuclear receptor screen identifies Rora as a dose-dependent regulator of cell fate. Transcription factor dosage—not just identity—drives reprogramming efficiency, pointing to nuclear receptor modulation as a lever for cell plasticity https://ow.ly/B4jU50YEN1g
A screen of 49 nuclear receptors identifies the ROR subfamily as OKS (OCT4/KLF4/SOX2) enhancers. Rora acts as a dose-dependent regulator of cell fate, tuning reprogramming efficiency. https://ow.ly/XPlQ50YEMWN
