HIF hits Wnt in the stem cell niche

Nature Cell Biology volume 12, pages 926–927 (2010)Cite this article

Subjects

Distinct stem-cell populations are known to reside in hypoxic niches during development and postnatal life. Hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) directly regulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway to ensure the maintenance of both adult and embryonic stem cells.
