Description
Generating blood from hematopoietic stem cells remains a dream. Technical and biological problems have prevented significant advances in this field. However now novel concepts in signaling and signaling processing by hematopoietic stem cells are providing information on the crucial signals needed for stem cell expansion in-vivo and ex-vivo. This session will provide an update on the most recent advances in signaling pathways used in stem cell activity within bone marrow stem cell niches and the microenvironment.

-
Describe the use of cell-to-cell communication between stem cells and their environment.
-
Examine the role of mesenchymal stem cells in the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell activity.
