Definitive human and mouse hematopoiesis originates from the embryonic endothelium: a new class of HSCs based on VE-cadherin expression
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) arise first in the third week of human ontogeny inside yolk sac developing blood vessels, and independently, from the wall of the embryonic aorta and vitelline arteries one week later. HSCs produced in the yolk sac and in the embryonic truncal arteries migrate to and transiently colonize the embryonic liver (EL), and thereafter the bone marrow (BM), their permanent site of...
