Abstract

Two anatomical niches for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been reported in the bone marrow, but a distinct function for each of these niches has remained unclear. A new role in stem cell proliferation has now been identified for the adhesion molecule E-selectin expressed by bone marrow endothelial cells at the vascular niche (pages 1651-1657).
