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 ...
