The hemangioblast: a state of competence

Blood. 2013 Dec 5;122(24):3853-4. doi: 10.1182/blood-2013-10-533075.

Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Myers and Krieg present an elegant series of experiments, which suggest that the hemangioblast may be a state of competence rather than a bipotential progenitor state that exists in vivo.
