    Transplantation of normal and malignant human hematopoietic cells into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice allows for evaluation of long-term growth abilities of these cells and provides a preclinical model for therapeutic interventions. However, large numbers of cells are required for...

    We hypothesized that human hematopoietic cells displaying a CD34[SUP+], kit[SUP+], rhodamine123[SUPlow] phenotype would be highly enriched for cells with stem-like properties. To test this hypothesis, we employed fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate cells with this phenotype...

    In the present study we examined in more detail the dual role of the c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 stress-activated protein kinase pathways in mediating apoptosis or cellular activation in hematopoietic cells. Growth factor deprivation of the erythroleukemic cell line TF-1 led to...

    The development of mature granulocytes from hematopoietic precursor cells is controlled by a myriad of transcription factors which regulate the expression of essential genes, including those encoding growth factors and their receptors, enzymes, adhesion molecules, and transcription factors...

    Expression of cell surface markers on human hematopoietic cells has provided a method for characterizing subsets of cells with distinct biological functions. This is largely due to the ability to separate highly purified subpopulations of cells for comparative analysis. Relationships between the...

    Remarkable progress has been achieved in the characterization and isolation of primitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). HSC represent a very small subset of hematopoietic cells and provide self-renewal, possess differentiation capacity and allow a constant supply of the entire hematopoietic...

    Hematopoietic stem cells are identified based on their functional ability to migrate via the blood circulation of transplanted recipients, to home to the host bone marrow and to durably repopulate this organ with high levels of maturing myeloid and lymphoid cells. While a small pool of...

    The detection of primitive hematopoietic cells based on repopulation of immune-deficient mice is a powerful tool to characterize the human stem-cell compartment. Here, we identify a newly discovered human repopulating cell, distinct from previously identified repopulating cells, that initiates...

  • A role for Wnt signalling in self-renewal of haematopoietic stem cells. Reya, Tannishtha; Duncan, Andrew W.; Ailles, Laurie; Domen, Jos; Scherer, David C.; Willert, Karl; Hintz, Lindsay; Nusse, Roel; Weissman, Irving L. // Nature;5/22/2003, Vol. 423 Issue 6938, p409 

    Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the ability to renew themselves and to give rise to all lineages of the blood; however, the signals that regulate HSC self-renewal remain unclear. Here we show that the Wnt signalling pathway has an important role in this process. Overexpression of activated...
