36 MORRISON, UCHIDA & WEISSMAN more HSC. In mouse and human, HSC represent up
to 0.05% of cells in the bone marrow. HSC are almost entirely responsible for the
radioprotective and short-and long-term reconstituting effects observed after bone marrow
trans plantation. The subsets of HSC that give rise to short-term vs long-term multilineage
reconstitution can be separated by phenotype, demonstrating that the fates of HSC are
intrinsically determined. Here we review the ontogeny and biology of HSC, their expression …

Here we review the ontogeny and biology of HSC, their expression of fate-determining genes, and the clinical importance of HSC for transplantation and gene therapy,
