Summary:
Scientists have discovered how an intracellular communication pathway contributes to the process of blood cell replacement. Since defects in such pathways and in the development of stem cells frequently lead to leukemia and other diseases, the work should give researchers a new handle on processes within cells that lead to cancer.
Commentary: Maybe this finding will enable scientists to develop new treatments for cancer.
