The complex microenvironmental signalling pathways that govern haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity remain poorly defined. Here, the authors identify endothelial NF-κB signalling as regulating regenerative HSC function, accelerating haematopoietic recovery following myelosuppressive injury in mice.
