- Title
Haematopoietic cell-fate decisions, chromatin regulation and ikaros.
- Authors
Georgopoulos, Katia
- Abstract
The regulated production of several terminally differentiated cell types of the blood and immune systems (haematopoiesis) has been the focus of many studies on cell-fate determination. Chromatin and the control of its structure have been implicated in the regulation of cell-fate decisions and in the maintenance of the determined states. Here, I review advances in the field, emphasizing the potential role of chromatin in lineage commitment and differentiation. In this context, I discuss Ikaros, an essential regulator of lymphocyte development and an integral component of a functionally diverse chromatin remodelling network that operates from the early stages of haematopoiesis to the mature lymphocytes.
