Abstract:
The antenatal role of the hepcidin-regulating protease Tmprss6 has never been elucidated because knockout dams are infertile. Using an in vivo knockdown approach, we confirm Tmprsss6 is critical for hepcidin suppression in pregnancy, and Tmprss6 inhibition drives deleterious fetal outcomes.

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
3.1K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...
