Recent evidence indicates ferroptosis is implicated in the pathophysiology of various liver diseases; however, the organ-specific regulation mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7), the terminal ...

Abstract
The transcription factor MYB is a crucial regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. However, the nature of lineage-specific enhancer usage of the Myb gene is largely unknown. We identify the Myb −68 enhancer, a regulatory ele...
