During development, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region through a process of multi-step maturation and expansion. While proliferation of adult HSCs is implicated in the balance between self-renewal and differentiation, very little is known about the proliferation status of nascent HSCs in the AGM region. Using Fucci reporter mice that enable in vivo visualization of cell-cycle status, we detect increased proliferation during pre-HSC expansion followed by a slowing down of cycling once cells start to acquire a definitive HSC state, similar to fetal liver HSCs.

Haematopoiesis in adult animals is maintained by haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which self-renew and can give rise to all blood cell lineages. The AGM region is an important intra-embryonic site of HSC development and a wealth of evidence indicates that HSCs emerge from the endothelium of the embryonic dorsal aorta and extra-embryonic large arteries. This, however, is a stepwise process that occurs through sequential upregulation of CD41 and CD45 followed by emergence of fully functional definitive HSCs.

Background: Megakaryopoiesis represents a multi-step, often unclear, process leading to commitment, differentiation, and maturation of megakaryocytes (MKs) that release platelets.

Aim: To identify the novel genes that might help to clarify the molecular mechanisms of megakaryocytopoiesis and be regarded as potential candidates of inherited platelet defects, global gene expression of hematopoietic lineages was carried out.

Methods: Human cord blood was used to purify CD34+ stem cells and in vitro expand CD41+ cells and burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E).

The regulated ability of integrin alphaIIbbeta3 to bind fibrinogen plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation and hemostasis. We have developed a model system based on laser tweezers, enabling us to measure specific rupture forces needed to separate single receptor-ligand complexes. First of all, we performed a thorough and statistically representative analysis of nonspecific protein-protein binding versus specific alphaIIbbeta3-fibrinogen interactions in combination with experimental evidence for single-molecule measurements.
