Abstract excerpt
Akt is an important regulator of cell survival, growth, and glucose metabolism in many cell types, but the role of this signaling molecule in hematopoietic stem cells is poorly defined. Side population (SP) cells are enriched for hematopoietic stem cell activity and are defined by their ability to efficiently efflux Hoechst 33342. Bone marrow from Akt1-null mice exhibited a reduced SP fraction. However, bone...
