Abstract
Fetal haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) self-renew extensively to build the blood system from scratch. The protein Lin28b negatively regulates the microRNA let-7 to keep levels of its target Hmga2 high, hence conferring high self-renewal potential to fetal HSCs. This regulatory circuit can be experimentally modulated to boost the lower self-renewal activity of quiescent adult HSCs.Entities:
