abstract：:The stem cells for the definitive haematopoiesis are derived from intra-embryonic sources originally described in an avian model and later also in mammals. However, the molecular make-up of the early embryonic haematopoietic progenitors is not yet clearly defined. We have recently characterized the phenotype of prethy...
