Contrary to the currently accepted model of T-cell development, researchers have found that juvenile cells on their way to becoming mature immune cells can develop into either T-cells or other blood-cell types versus only being committed to the T-cell path.

Researchers have identified a gene that is responsible for the division and movement of marrow-derived, blood-forming stem cells, a finding that could have major implications for the future of bone marrow and blood cell transplantation.
