NOTCH signaling specifies arterial-type definitive hemogenic endothelium from human pluripotent stem cells
Abstract
It is unclear whether arterial specification is required for hematopoietic stem cell formation. Here, the authors use a chemically defined human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) differentiation system to show the role of NOTCH signaling in forming arterial-type hemogenic endothelial cells.
