Hemogenic Endothelial Fate Mapping Reveals Dual Developmental Origin of Mast Cells
Gentek et al. demonstrate that Cdh5-CreERT2 can be used to selectively fate map yolk sac and definitive hematopoiesis. Temporally defined Cdh5-CreERT2 lineage tracing reveals that mast cells are yolk sac derived in the embryo but replaced by definitive hematopoiesis in the adult, a feature they share with m acrophages.
