Study: How blood stem cells maintain their lifelong potential for self-renewal
The study on mice stem cells suggested that the blood vessel cells of the niche produce a factor that stimulates blood stem cells and thus maintains their self-renewal capacity.(ANI) https://www.hindustantimes.com/science/study-how-blood-stem-cells-maintain-their-lifelong-potential-for-selfrenewal-101611752390327.html
