Episode 23, we kick it off with the science round up and talk about papers covering all topics from good friends genetically looking like blood relatives, ebola outbreaks, in vivo reprogramming to restore function after hear attack to converting pluripotent stem cells to blood stem cells. We then bring back to the show Dr. Daylon James to talk about a new paper in nature where they use a vascular niche to help instruct and reprogram endothelial cells to blood stem cells. We then rant about umbrellas. Yes, you read correctly, umbrellas.
