Runx1+ vascular smooth muscle cells are essential for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development in vivo

Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce all essential cellular components of the blood. Stromal cell lines supporting HSCs follow a vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) differentiation pathway, suggesting that some hematopoiesis-supporting cells originate from vSMC precursors. These pericyte-...
