A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) specification and expansion may enable better pharmacological strategies to produce them in sufficient numbers for transplantation. In the embryo, HSCs arise from a defined subset of arterial endothelial cells (ECs) located in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region that undergo endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Arterialization and HSC development are generally believed to require the action of Notch. Here we show that although Notch activity is initially required for arterialization, it is detrimental to subsequent EHT. Mechanistically, we show that effective EHT depends on a Mfng-induced decrease in Jag1-Notch signaling in hemogenic ECs. This causes upregulation of Mycn, an important metabolic and cell-cycle regulator that we found to be required for EHT. During the subsequent development of hematopoietic lineages, Mycn expression decreases and its function is taken on by the homologous Myc gene.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
