Abstract excerpt
Maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are controlled by complex interactions with the stroma microenvironment. Stroma-cell interactions can be supported by locally expressed membrane-spanning cell-surface (cs) growth factors. CSF-1 is expressed by stroma as a soluble glycoprotein, as proteoglycan, or as a membrane-spanning cs glycoprotein. CSF-1 regulates the survival,...
