Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) develop in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region. In utero development significantly reduces accessibility of the mouse embryo for analysis. We established AGM in vitro systems that can recapitulate in vivo HSC development, which allowed us to reconstruct and functionally validate the hierarchical organisation of HSC development. The first HSCs emerge in small numbers, possess an enormous regenerative/ self-renewing potential and can generate hundreds of fully functional daughter HSCs. We revealed a highly heterogeneous signalling landscape that can regulate HSC development in a concerted manner. In this talk, commonalities and differences in mouse and human development will be discussed.
