New commentary reframes TNF in hematopoiesis. TNF’s effects are cell type-, context-, and time-dependent. Rather than being simply “bad,” TNF can prune progenitors while transiently reprogramming HSCs without sacrificing long-term regenerative capacity. https://ow.ly/sATS50YoF62

Leiden University Medical Center co-cultured female human primordial germ cell-like cells (hPGCLCs) in two distinct niche compartments. In both niches, stem cell factor was crucial for hPGCLC survival, highlighting that niche shifts are required for germ cell development https://ow.ly/oxkq50YoF3P
Congratulations to center member Kathrin Plath on this distinction from @isscr.org! 🎉
Dr. Georgia Quadrato in a laboratory coat and gloves is placing or retrieving a container from an incubator filled with similar jars. They are standing in a lab environment, focusing on their task.
