Progress in the development of systems for in vitro expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Vasculogenesis and hematopoiesis are essential for development. Recently, the ETS domain transcription factor Etv2 has been identified as an essential regulator of vasculogenesis and hematopoiesis. Here, we review the recent studies that have established the critical role of Etv2 in the specification ...
