Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Petrillo et al. (2018) improve lentiviral transduction of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by using cyclosporine H to relieve viral entry restriction by interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3). This finding promises to enhance the efficiency of ex vivo therapeutic gene transfer and gene editing of HSCs.
