THE ROLE OF AP2A2 IN SELF-RENEWAL OF HAEMATOPOIETIC AND LEUKEMIC STEM CELLS.

The daily replenishment of the blood system is dependent on the blood stem cell. A unique property of these stem cells is self-renewal where..

2011 - 2013
Completed
Project icon

The effect of competing signals on immune cell function

Following an infection, our immune system generates a large and diverse repertoire of cells required to mount and regulate an appropriate im..

2011 - 2013
Completed
Project icon

A new mechanism for determining cell fate and function in T cells

Immune reactions are mediated by the expansion of white blood cells, and the progeny of this expansion is steered down different development..
