Studying global gene expression changes during hematopoietic development to identify novel regulators of hematopoietic stem cell function KU Leuven
Self-renewal and differentiation are the two primary attributes of all kinds of stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multi-potent stem cells that are responsible for producing all blood cells throughout the lifetime of an organism. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective method for treatment of hematopoietic disorders including leukemia and other hematopoietic malignancies, as well as immunodeficiencies.
