Deskripsi
Long term haematopoitic stem cells (LT-HSCs) are in a quiescent state during homeostasis, which is critical for their maintenance. Here, the authors show that Gal-3 expression in LT-HSCs is induced in response to Tie2 and Mpl and is both necessary and sufficient for LT-HSC quiescence through regulation of p21.
