🧬 What if your blood cells remembered how their ancestors divided?

Our new preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) explores clonal memory in human blood stem cells — and how it breaks down in leukaemia.

Make him pay ladies. And a lot of respect for a postdoc taking this type of stance, we can only hope to be like that.
