Description
Developmental haematopoiesis, the process by which all blood cell types arise in the vertebrate embryo and are maintained throughout adult life, is a tightly regulated process. We have uncovered a novel and important role for a specific microRNA family in developmental haematopoiesis. We are using state of the art mouse genetics, microscopy, flow cytometry and in vitro stem cell differentiation techniques to characterise the function of this microRNA family, with the ultimate goal to harness this discovery for therapeutical purposes.
