GATA-3 controls self-renewal in stressed HSCs

Nature Immunology volume 14, pages 1032–1033 (2013)Cite this article

Subjects

The transcription factor GATA-3 is expressed in quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with long-term repopulating ability. Stress-mediated activation of HSCs promotes localization of GATA-3 to the nucleus in a manner dependent on the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38α and restricts self-renewal.
