Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow are quiescent, but are activated in response to stress. Here, the authors show that loss of Med23 leads to greater activation and enhanced myeloid potential of HSCs in response to stress, also Med23 maintains stemness gene expression and suppresses myeloid genes.
