Characterization of Proteins Released by Osteoblasts That Promote Expansion of Hematopoietic Progenitors

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) used for allogeneic transplantation. Ex vivo expansion of HSPC can improve the slow platelet and neutrophil engraftment associated with UCB transplants. HSPCs reside in niches, some of which are near the endoste...
