Formaldehyde Causes Bone Marrow Failure Linked to Transcriptional Reprogramming or Metabolic Deficiency

Winnie Tan et al. Mol Cell. .
Free article

Abstract

Two new studies in this issue of Molecular Cell demonstrate that bone marrow failure, in mice and humans, can be induced by formaldehyde generated either from defective metabolism (Dingler et al., 2020) or during the process of transcriptional reprogramming (Shen et al., 2020).
