Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is extensively studied in mouse models, but their limited scale presents challenges for effective engraftment and comprehensive evaluations. Rats, owing to their larger size and anatomical similarity to humans, offer a promising alternative. In this study, we establish a rat model with the KitV834M mutation, mirroring KitW41 mice often used in KIT signaling and HSC...
