Selection of pre-leukemic hematopoietic stem cells driven by distinct extracellular matrix molecules Despite rapid advances in mapping genetic drivers and gene expression changes in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), there is a relative paucity of studies at the protein level. Here, we perform a deep, ...

Many years of work across many people in lab + collaborators have come together. Low cell number proteomics allows us to identify ECM molecules as potential triggers of clonal selection in HSCs.
