Our results demonstrate that erythrocytic precursor cells of different maturation stages are capable of homing to hematopoietic organs. This work has implications for the development of transfusion protocols that use ex vivo expanded, but not fully matured, erythrocytic precursors from cultured stem cell populations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
