✦ Synopsis

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) comprise a small percentage of total hematopoietic cells. Their ability to self-renewal is key to the continuous replenishment of the hematopoietic system with newly formed functional blood cell types while maintaining their multipotential capacity. Understanding the extrinsic signals that are essential to HSC maintenance will provide insights into the regulation of hematopoiesis at its most primitive stage, and with the knowledge applied, will potentially lead to improved clinical transplantation outcomes. In this review, we will summarize the current understanding of the role of the thrombopoietin/MPL signaling pathway in HSC maintenance during adult and fetal hematopoiesis. We will also speculate on the downstream key players in the pathway based on published data, and summarize the role of this pathway in leukemia.

## Abstract Human NUDC (hNUDC) was initially characterized as a nuclear migration protein based on the similarity of its C‐terminus to that of fungal NUDC from __Aspergillus nidulans__. However, hNUDC is a 331 amino acid protein whereas fungal NUDC is 198 amino acids in length. The extra N‐terminal
