Murine hematopoietic stem cell reconstitution potential is maintained by osteopontin during aging

Abstract In adult mammals, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the bone marrow and are in part regulated by the bone marrow microenvironment, called the stem cell niche. We have previously identified the bone marrow morphogen osteopontin (OPN), which is abundantly present in the bone marrow ex...
