The human stem cell hierarchy is defined by a functional dependence on Mcl-1 for self-renewal capacity
5 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis for the unique proliferative and self-renewal properties that hierarchically distinguish human stem cells from progenitors and terminally differentiated cells remains largely unknown. We report a role for the Bcl-2 family member myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) as an indispensable regulator of self-renewal in human stem cells and show that a functional dependence on Mcl-1 defines the human stem...
