abstract：:Cell to cell interaction in bone marrow is crucial for differentiation of hematopoietic cells. We have shown that EphB4 receptor is expressed in erythroid progenitor and its activation accelerates erythroid differentiation. To elucidate the role of EphB4 activation in erythropoiesis, we analyzed effects of EphB4 on ce...
