Today on SC@L digested PhD Student Dr Beibei Du speaks with Dr Simón Méndez-Ferrer, a Reader in Transfusion Medicine at the University of Cambridge. They discuss what controls blood stem cell behaviour, including whether you are awake or asleep. Simón also talks about how understanding what makes blood stem cells move can be used in stem cell transplants to treat blood cancers.
