However\, the debate over if different niches exist to control hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) priming has been ongoing. Our new discoveries unrevealed a ‘zone’ concept that challenge the single-cell niche dogma defined previously.\r\n\r\nProfessor Linheng Li is a prominent scientist specializing in stem cell biology\, particularly in the areas of adult stem cells and their microenvironments or niches. He is an investigator at Stowers Institute for Medical Research\, Kansas City and Professor\, Adjunction with Kansas University of Cancer Center\, Kansas City\, USA.Tumor-initiating stem cells (TSCs or CSCs) lie at the root of tumor/cancer and are largely responsible for drug resistance and cancer relapse. However\, how the therapy resistant CSCs survive remains a fundamental biological question and clinically unsolved problem. &\;nbsp\;We reported that CSCs can intrinsically escape immune attacking and at the same time can also shape their microenvironment into an immunosuppressive barrier. Overcoming both the extrinsic immunosuppressive barrier and intrinsic immune escape has the potential to increase the efficacy of checkpoint inhibition therapies against various cancers.Lecture: "\;Microenvironmental Regulation of Normal and Cancerous Stem Cells"\;Introduction by KI researcher Hong Qian\, Professor at the Department of Medicine Huddinge:"\;Therapeutic opportunities in leukemia niche"\;The lecture will be followed by an afternoon reception in the Neo entrance hall with possibility to interact and ask questions.&\;nbsp\;Early Career Researchers (e.g. PhD students\, postdocs\, assistant professors) interested in an exclusive opportunity to engage in discussions regarding career advice with Professor Li at 13:00 before the lecture\, pls. contact hong.qian@ki.se no later than Monday\, September 8th.&\;nbsp\;Host:&\;nbsp\;Hong Qian\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/ki-south-distinguished-lecture-series-linheng-li CREATED:20250612T061706Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250617T073749Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:KI South Distinguished Lecture Series: Linheng Li END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20251002T150000Z DTEND:20251002T200000Z DTSTAMP:20250918T163012Z UID:234584 DESCRIPTION:After a long-awaited pause\, we are excited to finally announce the first ANA Futura afterwork pub of the term. \r\n\r\nThis is a chance for all of us—students\, researchers\, and staff—to come together outside the lab and enjoy a well-deserved break.Come join us and take the opportunity to mingle with colleagues across the departments.
