TLR7 Signaling Regulates Embryonic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Development by Sensing microRNA-146a in Vertebrates

Hongyan Liu, Kun Zhou, Kai Zhu, Yun-Fei Li, Liyuan Mo, Peng‐Fei Xu, Yan Li

This study identifies microRNA-146a as an endogenous activator of TLR7 signaling, which promotes embryonic HSC development through IRF5 and Notch signaling in zebrafish and mouse embryos.
