Intersecting Worlds of Transfusion and Transplantation Medicine: An International Symposium organized by the Canadian Blood Services Centre for Innovation

The principal theme of the symposium was centred on how the world of regenerative medicine intersects with that of transfusion medicine, with a particular focus on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and stem cell therapies. The symposium highlighted several exciting developments and identified areas where additional research is needed. A revised map of human hematopoietic hierarchy was presented based on the functional and phenotypic analysis of thousands of single stem and progenitor cells from adult bone marrow and fetal liver.
