Long-term engrafting multilineage hematopoietic cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) have important biomedical applications. We identified differentiation conditions that generate HSCs defined by robust long-term multilineage engraftment in ...

Methodological Considerations on How to Identify Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells The hematopoietic system is highly regenerative and is organized hierarchically with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sitting at the apex. Despite being some of the most widely studied stem cells, ques...

What a great resource! My lab has struggled in the past with some of the exact variables interrogated here. A must read for anyone diving into human HSCs!
