Abstract

The murine embryo has become a valuable tool to examine the ontogeny of hematopoiesis. However, the onset of the systemic circulation has long been a confounding developmental variable that may mask the site of blood cell emergence. This Minireview examines some approaches that have been applied to overcome this obstacle.
