Deskripsi

HSCs emerge from haemogenic endothelium (HE) in the dorsal aorta but whether these tissues share a common lineage is unclear. Here, the authors use a zebrafish runx1 reporter to show that HE maintains an arterial gene expression profile in the absence of Runx1, suggesting the aortic endothelium as a precursor of HE.
