This causes HSCs to divide & make red cells. Julia didn't discard repetitive sequences when comparing gene expression in HSCs from pregnant vs non-pregnant mice & humans: retrotransposons came on in pregnant HSCs. Nobody had noticed this because rep seqs are usually discarded 2/5

Congrats Julia Phan + Aslan Tasdogan for their paper in Science today: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) & erythropoiesis get activated during pregnancy and after bleeding by retrotransposons that turn on in HSCs activating cGAS/STING & interferon signaling https://t.co/nCDwFwQiVp
