This study uses sci-Plex to analyze how Activin and BMP4 gradients affect mesoderm patterning and hemogenic endothelial cell production in mouse embryonic stem cells.

The paper identifies rare fetal liver HSCs with unique features like differentiation latency and dormancy signatures using single cell RNA-sequencing and a niche-mimicking culture platform.

The paper shows that multipotent progenitors and HSC arise from distinct HE populations during mouse embryogenesis, identified through clonal assays and single-cell transcriptomics.

The paper identifies key signaling molecules involved in HSC development by analyzing single-cell transcriptomics data from AGM-derived cells and uses them to engineer a supportive niche for HSC generation.
