Hematopoiesis is maintained by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that replenish all blood lineages throughout life. It is well-established that the HSC pool is functionally heterogeneous consisting of cells differing in longevity, self-renewal ability, cell proliferation, and lineage differentiation. Although HSCs can be identified through the Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+CD48-CD34-CD150+ immunophenotype, the cell surface marker combination does not permit absolute purification of functional HSCs with long-term reconstituting ability. Therefore, prospective isolation of long-term HSCs is crucial for mechanistic understanding of the biological functions of HSCs and for resolving functional heterogeneity within the HSC population. Here, we show that the combination of CD229 and CD49b cell surface markers within the phenotypic HSC compartment identifies a subset of multipotent progenitor (MPP) cells with high proliferative activity and short-term reconstituting ability. Thus, the addition of CD229 and CD49b to conventional HSC markers permits prospective isolation of functional HSCs by distinguishing MPPs in the HSC compartment.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are a heterogenous group of immune cells composed by dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (Mϕ), which are critical for orchestrating immunity against cancer or infections. Several strategies have been explored to generate APC subsets, including enrichment from peripheral blood and differentiation from pluripotent or multipotent cells. During development, the generation of APC subsets is instructed by transcription factors (TFs).

Hematopoiesis is characterized by the differentiation and maturation of multipotent stem cells into hematopoietic cells. Common lymphoid progenitor cells differentiate into B and T lymphocytes; natural killer cells can also originate from common lymphoid progenitors. In recent years, a cellular subtype of lymphocytes, called innate lymphocytes, has been described.

Cancers evolve not only through the acquisition and clonal transmission of somatic mutations but also by epigenetic mechanisms that modify cell phenotype. Here, we use histology-guided and spatial transcriptomics to characterize hepatoblastoma, a childhood liver cancer that exhibits significant histologic and proliferative heterogeneity despite clonal activating mutations in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Highly proliferative regions with embryonal histology show high expression of Wnt target genes, the embryonic biliary transcription factor SOX4, and striking focal expression of the growth factor FGF19.

Article Synopsis
- WBP1L (also known as OPAL1) is a protein linked to better outcomes in childhood leukemia and is involved in regulating hematopoiesis and CXCR4 signaling.
- Mice lacking WBP1L show dysregulated hematopoiesis, with enlarged thymi and increased thymocyte counts, likely due to the enhancement of multipotent progenitors in the bone marrow.
- The study highlights WBP1L's role in maintaining hematopoietic stem cell functionality, influencing leukocyte progenitor growth, and improving outcomes during stem cell transplants.

Article Synopsis
- Hematopoietic multipotent progenitors (MPPs) in the bone marrow can differentiate into various cell types, influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic signals, with WHIM syndrome patients exhibiting an excess of myeloid cells due to CXCR4 signaling mutations.
- Research using knock-in mice with WHIM-associated mutations showed that MPP4 cells, which usually develop into lymphoid cells, instead skewed towards myeloid differentiation due to increased mTOR signaling and altered oxidative phosphorylation.
- Treatment with CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 or mTOR inhibitor rapamycin reversed this myeloid bias, indicating that normal CXCR4 function is crucial for maintaining the lymphoid potential of MPP4 cells by regulating
