Hematopoietic progenitor cells regulate their niche microenvironment through a novel mechanism of cell-cell communication

Cellular communication within a larger microenvironment is critical for a number of physiological processes. Within the bone marrow niche, direct cell communication between hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and osteoblasts provides essential cues for their proliferation and survival. While conta...
