Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Choorapoikayil et al have used phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten)–deficient zebrafish to uncover prominent roles for Pten loss in enhancing proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and eliciting differentiation arrest within lineage-committed blood progenitor cells. These results provide novel insights into the early genetic events that predispose blood cells to malignant transformation.
