Brief description Development of blood cells is controlled by specific molecules called transcription factors. Transcription factors are important in developing mature white cells, red cells and platelets from blood stem cells. We have discovered that a transcription factor, Erg, is important in control of blood stem cells and blood cell development as well as being implicated in human cancers, including acute leukaemia. This project will characterise how this molecule is involved in these specific processes.
