Generation of haematopoietic cells from human embryonic stem cells

Culture of hESCs on murine stromal layers or in stromal free conditions as embryoid bodies results in low levels of haematopoietic cells. Here it is demonstrated that overexpression of the transcription factor HOXB4 considerably augments haematopoetic development of hESCs. Stable HOXB4 expressing hE...
