Clonal hematopoiesis, originally identified as a precursor to hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a significant factor in various nonmalignant diseases. Recent research highlights how somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the expansion of circulating mutated immune cells that exert profound effects on organ function and disease progression. These mutated clones display altered inflammatory profiles and tissue-specific functional consequences, contributing to various diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, heart failure, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) bridges hematopoietic clonality and solid tumorigenesis, unveiling a systemic dimension of somatic mutagenesis in cancer biology. Generally, population studies demonstrate CHIP carriers face elevated risks of cancer and poorer survival outcomes. This review consolidates current knowledge on the role of CHIP as potential biomarkers in the prediction/early detection/prognosis evaluation of various non-hematological cancers.

Liquid biopsies, particularly those involving circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from patient blood, have emerged as crucial and minimally invasive adjuncts to standard tissue-based testing. ctDNA testing enables the identification of actionable mutations for targeted therapy and can be routinely used when tissue samples are unavailable for genotyping. Compared to tissue-based testing, ctDNA testing has the advantages of capturing spatial or temporal genomic heterogeneity and facilitating repeated assessments.

Human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) fitness declines following exposure to stressors that reduce survival, dormancy, telomere maintenance, and self-renewal, thereby accelerating aging. While previous National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research revealed immune dysfunction in low-earth orbit (LEO), the impact of spaceflight on human HSPC aging had not been studied. To study HSPC aging, our NASA-supported Integrated Space Stem Cell Orbital Research (ISSCOR) team developed bone marrow niche nanobioreactors with lentiviral bicistronic fluorescent, ubiquitination-based cell-cycle indicator (FUCCI2BL) reporter for real-time HSPC tracking in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven CubeLabs.
