Abstract

The lineage relationship between the blood cells found in the developmentally successive hematopoietic organs has remained elusive. In this issue of Immunity, Murayama et al. (2006) track the migration of nascent hematopoietic stem cells in zebrafish from their site of origin to a newly described intermediate location.

Zon Lab

The Zon laboratory aims to dissect how assaults to the hematopoietic system cause severe diseases such as leukemias, lymphomas, and anemias. They investigate hematopoietic development and disease using chemical screens, genetic screens, and analysis of novel transgenic lines in zebrafish.
