Ex vivo targeting of p21Cip1/Waf1 permits relative expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells
22 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Relative quiescence is a defining characteristic of hematopoietic stem cells. Reasoning that inhibitory tone dominates control of stem cell cycling, we previously showed that mice engineered to be deficient in the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21Cip1/Waf1 (p21), have an increased stem cell pool under homeostatic conditions. Since p21 was necessary to maintain stem cell quiescence and its absence sufficient...
