Where this comes from

Abstract

As a response against serious infection, there is often a need to produce more leukocytes to defend the organism against the infectious agent. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Goodell and colleagues (Feng et al., 2008) find a link between regulators of host defense and hematopoietic stem cells.
