Cellular senescence

upin human cells1

1 study
  1. SLF2 induces cellular senescence in human cells.

    “Mechanistically, disruption of the SLF2-SMC5 axis induced genomic instability, p53/p21 activation, and a senescence-like phenotype.”

Engraftment

downin human cells1

1 study
  1. SLF2 impairs engraftment in human cells.

    “Mutant HPCs exhibited impaired colony-forming capacity, defective erythroid differentiation with a myeloid bias, and markedly reduced engraftment in xenotransplantation assays.”

Myelodysplastic syndrome

upin humans1

1 study
  1. SLF2 raises the risk of myelodysplastic syndrome in humans.

    “These findings demonstrate that SLF2 and SMC5 dysfunction drives premature HSC aging, bone marrow failure, and predisposition to MDS”
