Competition between hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells controls hematopoietic stem cell compartment size
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) rely on a combination of paracrine signals produced by their niche, including SCF. Here the authors show that HSCs and hematopoietic progenitors compete for limited amounts of membrane-bound SCF.
