Two Parallel Blood Formation Systems Revealed by DKFZ Method
Introduction: A Paradigm Shift in Blood Formation For decades, scientists have viewed hematopoiesis, the process of blood formation, as a linear cascade: stem cells give rise to a lineage that eventually forms the diverse cells circulating in our blood. Recent research from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) challenges this view by uncovering not one,…
