Abnormal Cholesterol Impaired Mammalian Terminal Erythropoiesis Leading to Anemia
Scientists successfully demonstrate that fine-tuning of cholesterol homeostasis emerges as a key mechanism for regulating erythropoiesis, according to a Shandong University study published in Advanced Science.Mammalian erythropoiesis starts with the commitment of hematopoietic stem cells to erythroid progenitors. This is followed by terminal differentiation to give rise to mature red blood cell...
