Long non-coding RNAs in leukemia: biology and clinical impact.

abstract：:During embryogenesis, a pool of pluripotential, self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells is specified from undifferentiated ventral mesoderm. These cells proliferate and differentiate to yield all the peripheral blood lineages. Although the mechanisms involved in the commitment and differentiation of multipotential prog...
