Gene discovery shows how stem cells can be activated to help immune system fight infection

UCLA scientists say the genes Scalloped and Yorkie weren't previously thought to be involved with the body's immune system UCLA researchers have discovered that the Scalloped and Yorkie genes play a key role in how progenitor stem cells are activated to fight infection. In a study led by Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research member Dr. Julian Martinez-Agosto, UCLA scientists have shown that two genes not previously known to be involved with the immune system play a crucial role in how progenitor stem cells are activated to fight infection.
