Retinoic Acid Puts Hematopoietic Stem Cells Back To Sleep

Publication date: 6 July 2017
Source:Cell Stem Cell, Volume 21, Issue 1
Author(s): Alexandra Rundberg Nilsson, Cornelis Jan Pronk
Dormant hematopoietic stem cells (dHSCs) display superior serial reconstitution capacity compared to active HSCs, although their role in normal hematopoiesis has not been thoroughly investigated. Recently in Cell, Cabezas-Wallscheid et al. (2017) demonstrate involvement of retinoic acid signaling in murine dHSCs for preservation of the HSC pool.
