New MAEA Function Could Tip the Scales in Chemotherapy Resistance
Groundbreaking discovery: MAEA’s unexpected role in DNA repair A University of Alberta research team has identified a surprising new function for MAEA (macrophage erythroblast attacher), a protein once thought to be primarily involved in red blood cell development. The scientists report in Science Advances that MAEA also plays a critical role in DNA repair and…

Lab-grown embryo models mimic natural formation of blood and heart cells
Overview: A window into early human development Scientists at the University of Cambridge have engineered three‑dimensional, embryo‑like structures from human stem cells that replicate key features of very early human development. These structures, named hematoids, self‑organize to form tissues and, notably, produce blood stem cells, offering a promising platform to study how the human body…
