Abstract

Adjusting hematopoietic hierarchy: In adults, more than 300 billion blood cells are replenished daily. This output arises from a cellular hierarchy where stem cells differentiate into a series of multilineage progenitors, culminating in unilineage progenitors that generate over 10 different mature blood cell types. Notta et al. mapped the lineage potential of nearly 3000 single cells from 33 different cell populations of stem and progenitor cells from fetal liver, cord blood, and adult bone marrow (see the Perspective by Cabezas-Wallscheid and Trumpp). Prenatally, stem cell and progenitor populations were multilineage with few unilineage progenitors. In adults, multilineage cell potential was only seen in stem cell populations.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Recent scSeq state maps, barcode-based clonal studies, and single-cell culture work indicate that traditional intermediate cell types are internally heterogeneous in state and fate potential, with HSPCs on a continuum rather than a stepwise hierarchy.

    “But recent state maps from scSeq (9), as well as clonal studies using barcodes (10) and single cell culture (11), suggest that the traditional intermediate cell types are internally heterogeneous in state and fate potential, with HSPCs lying along a continuum of states rather than a stepwise hierarchy.”

    From Type 1 interferon perturbates clonal competition by reshaping human blood development (2026) · cites this paper as [61]

    The Discussion passage concerns molecular markers of blood-cell lineage differentiation, not the M131I variant or its effect on protein structure. Searches for “M131I” and protein-structure predictions found no passage addressing the claim in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
