Zebrafish research highlights protein Wdr5's role in preventing blood cell DNA damage

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role for the tryptophan-aspartic acid (WD) repeat protein 5 (Wdr5) in maintaining the survival and genomic integrity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) during embryonic development. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
