The Notch Ligand Jagged-1 Represents a Novel Growth Factor of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells
6 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The Notch ligand, Jagged-1, plays an essential role in tissue formation during embryonic development of primitive organisms. However, little is known regarding the role of Jagged-1 in the regulation of tissue-specific stem cells or its function in humans. Here, we show that uncommitted human hematopoietic cells and cells that comprise the putative blood stem cell microenvironment express Jagged-1 and the Notch...
