Abstract excerpt
The AKT pathway plays an important role in various aspects of stem cell biology. However, the consequences of constitutive activation of AKT in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) on the fate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were unknown. Here, we show that bone marrow-derived MSCs expressing a constitutively active AKT1 expand HSCs, but severely affect their functionality. Conversely, stromal cells with silenced...
