Kinetics of blood cell differentiation during hematopoiesis revealed by quantitative long-term live imaging

Kevin Y.L. Ho, Rosalyn Leigh Carr, Alexandra Dmitria Dvoskin, Guy Tanentzapf

This study uses long-term live imaging in flies to reveal distinct kinetics of blood cell differentiation and shows how infection modulates these kinetics to activate hematopoiesis.
