OBJECTIVE: The microenvironment wherein hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside
orchestrates HSC self-renewal vs. differentiation decisions. Stromal cells derived from
ontogenically divergent hematopoietic microenvironments can support HSC in vitro and
have been used to decipher factors that influence HSC fate decisions. Employing stromal
cell lines derived from the aorta-gonad-mesonephros and embryonic liver, we aim to identify
secreted factors that maintain/expand HSC in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We …
