Dll4 and Jag1a signalling act sequentially and cooperatively to drive hematopoietic stem cell fate specification
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from a specialized subset of arterial endothelial cells, the hemogenic endothelium (HE), during embryonic development and sustain blood production throughout life. Notch signalling is a key regulator of this process: its ligand Jag1 promotes HSPC formation, whereas...
