Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Hematopoietic Cells Maintain Core Epigenetic Machinery of the Polycomb Group/Trithorax Group Complexes Distinctly from Functional Adult Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Hematopoietic cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have a number of potential utilities, including the modeling of hematological disorders in vitro, whereas the use for cell replacement therapies has proved to be a loftier goal. This is due to the failure of differentiated hematopoietic cells, derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), to functionally recapitulate the in vivo properties of bona fide adult hematopoietic …
