Where this comes from

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Hormaechea-Agulla et al. (2021) demonstrate that IFNγ signaling following an infection in mice provides a selective pressure that drives growth of Dnmt3a<sup>-/-</sup> hematopoietic stem cells. This clonal expansion is mediated by global methylation changes that lead to an increased self-renewing capacity.
