Reseachers identify and map progenitor cells for blood and immune cell production.

University of California San Francisco scientists have identified characteristics of a family of daughter cells, called MPPs, which are the first to arise from stem cells within bone marrow that generate the entire blood system. The researchers state that the discovery raises the possibility that, by manipulating the fates of MPPs or parent stem cells the medical community could one day help overcome imbalances and … Continue reading Reseachers identify and map progenitor cells for blood and immune cell production.
