Abstract:In article number 2205345, Fudi Wang, Junxia Min, and co-workers identify and demonstrate indispensable function of zinc transporter SLC39A10 (ZIP10) and its mediated zinc homeostasis for maintaining the survival of fetal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. As the most important zinc importer on the cell membrane of hematopoietic stem cells, ZIP10 functions as a gatekeeper (like a vacuum to transport zinc across a cell membrane) for orchestrating zinc acquisition and the fate of stem cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
