Deubiquitinases at the interplay between hematopoietic stem cell aging and myelodysplastic transformation.
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) maintain blood production throughout life. Nevertheless, HSC functionality deteriorates upon physiological aging leading to the increased prevalence of haematological diseases and hematopoietic malignancies in the elderly. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) by reverting protein ubiquitination ensure proper proteostasis, a key process in HSC maintenance and fitness.

Research summary
The paper addresses the aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the role of deubiquitinating enzymes in maintaining HSC functionality, which is directly related to the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases. While it provides solid research on a specific aspect of stem cell aging, its findings may not significantly advance the broader field of longevity research or lifespan extension. Thus, it is rated as a solid contribution but with limited impact.
