Critical proteins involved in animal stem cell regulation are much older than previously thought, predating the origin of ...

HSCs are multipotent and have the full developmental potential to differentiate into all blood cells types, and persist throughout life through a cell division mechanism called self-renewal.

are the precursors of all cells of the peripheral blood, and they usually reside in a quiescent state in the bone marrow. We discovered that interferon gamma (IFNγ) promotes hematopoietic stem cell ...
