This study shows neonatal platelets induce monocytes to a Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cell phenotype, limiting T-cell activation, which may explain adverse outcomes of platelet transfusions in neonates.

This study shows BMI1 promotes erythroid self-renewal through both gene repression and activation, offering a strategy to expand immature erythroid precursors for clinical use.

The paper maps the multi-organ functions of the human yolk sac during early development, revealing its roles in hematopoiesis, nutrition, and oxygen regulation.
