Abstract excerpt
Hematopoiesis in most vertebrate species occurs in two distinct phases, primitive and definitive, which diverge from FLK1(+)VE-cadherin(-) mesoderm and FLK1(+)VE-cadherin(+) endothelial cells (EC), respectively. This study aimed at determining the stage at which hematopoietic lineage fate is determined by manipulating the SCL/tal-1 expression that is known to be essential for the early development of the...
