Where this comes from

Abstract

Ex vivo hematopoiesis from embryonic sources offers exciting promises in basic research and medicine. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Ledran et al. (2008) describe human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived hematopoiesis, while Taoudi et al. (2008) define the origin of definitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the mouse aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region.
