However, recent studies have started to show that this is not really true, and there are actually functionally distinct subpopulations within the overall HSC pool. In this video, Grant Challen and Margaret Goodell take you on a brief tour of their latest Cell Stem Cell paper, in which they describe purifying and characterizing two subtypes of mouse HSC. They show th
