Researchers Unlock Molecular Origin of Blood Stem Cells
(PhysOrg.com) -- A research team led by Nancy Speck, PhD,
Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine, has identified the location and
developmental timeline in which a majority of bone marrow stem cells
form in the mouse embryo. The findings, appearing online this week in
the journal Nature, highlight critical steps in the origin of
hematopoietic (or blood) stem cells (HSCs), says senior author Speck,
who is also an Investigator with the Abramson Family Cancer Research
