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
Their self-renewal potential is the prerequisite for blood stem cells to provide sufficient replenishment of mature blood cells for decades. © Adobe Stock https://www.dkfz.de/en/presse/pressemitteilungen/2021/dkfz-pm-21-03c-How-blood-stem-cells-maintain-their-lifelong-potential-for-self-renewal.php
