Brief description Haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside in adult bone marrow (BM) and make all blood and immune cells. HSCs can be damaged by chemotherapy leading to blood and BM failure. We have identified an adhesion molecule in the BM which regulates HSC behaviour. We anticipate that inhibiting this molecule will i) help minimise HSC damage during chemotherapy and ii) enhance the success of BM transplantation.
