Caspase-3/NLRP3 signaling in the mesenchymal stromal niche regulates myeloid-biased hematopoiesis

Abstract Background The fate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is determined by a complex regulatory network that includes both intrinsic and extrinsic signals. In the past decades, many intrinsic key molecules of HSCs have been shown to control hematopoiesis homeostasis. Non-hematopoietic niche ce...
