The Microbiota Regulates Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Development by Mediating Inflammatory Signals in the Niche

Scientists identified an Aeromonas veronii strain with immuno-modulatory activities that failed to induce hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) development in wild-type fish but selectively inhibited kidney cytokine expression and rebalanced HSPC development in chd8−/− zebrafish.
