Myelodyplastic hematopoietic stem cells (MDS HSC) have eluded in vivo modeling. Here the authors present a highly efficient MDS patient-derived xenotransplantation model in cytokine-humanized mice with replication of the donors’ genetic complexity and myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocytic lineage dysplasia.
