How do hematopoietic stem cells expand during development? Our new study identifies Ninjurins as key regulators of HSC amplification via canonical WNT signaling, revealing a function that is completely independent of plasma membrane rupture.

📢 New publication from our group We report that GPER1 reduces skin inflammation by inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation. Importantly, we combine the robust zebrafish model with validation in patient samples, strengthening the translational relevance of our findings.

Y aquí va la distribución completa de proyectos: - 2/3 partes de los proyectos tienen 50.000€ o menos por año. Esto no cambia. - La financiación media por proyecto baja ligeramente (2%) respecto al PID2023. - El porcentaje de éxito cae al 46% (49% en el PID2023). La ciencia en España se estanca. 😕
