Abstract

Obtaining sufficient numbers of immunologically matched hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) poses a major clinical hurdle in bone marrow transplantation therapies. In a recent study in Cell, Riddell et al. (2014) generate induced HSCs from differentiated blood cells, which may serve as a potential solution to this clinical challenge.
