title: Cell expansion and maintenance of stemness.
abstract: Manipulation of hematopoietic cells to expand output while maintaining stem-cell potential has been an elusive goal of experimental hematology. The development of a system using a chemically induced dimerizer and modified thrombopoietin receptor has now allowed the expansion of primitive hematopoiesis without sacrificing stem cells.
