ABSTRACT
Hematopoietic stem cells are the most illustrious inhabitants of the bone marrow. Direct visualization of endogenous hematopoietic stem cells in this niche is essential to study their functions. Until recently this was not possible in live animals. Recent studies, using state-of-the-art technologies, including sophisticated in vivo inducible genetic approaches in combination with two-photon laser scanning microscopy, allow the follow-up of endogenous hematopoietic stem cells' behavior in their habitat. Strikingly, the new findings reveal that quiescent hematopoietic stem cells are more mobile than previously thought, and link their retained steady state within the niche to a mobile behavior. The arising knowledge from this research will be critical for the therapy of several hematological diseases. Here, we review recent progress in our understanding of hematopoietic stem cell biology in their niches.
