Expanding Hematopoietic Stem Cells: A New Approach to Drug Repurposing
This study delves into the promising field of drug repurposing, focusing on the potential of FDA-approved drugs to facilitate the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Utilizing a zebrafish model, the researchers screened a library of FDA-approved drugs to identify candidates that could enhance HSPC expansion. The study identified several drugs, including ergocalciferol and panthenol, that effectively expanded the HSPC pool in a dose-dependent manner. This research highlights the potential of drug repurposing to accelerate the development of new therapies for blood disorders.
Drug Repurposing: Unlocking New Therapeutic Potential
