Brood parasitism frequently leads to a total loss of host fitness, which selects for the evolution of defensive traits in host species.Experimental studies have demonstrated that recognition and rejection of the parasite egg is the most common and efficient defence used by host species.Egg-recognition experiments have advanced our knowledge of the

The blood system is supported by hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) found in a specialized microenvironment called the niche.Many different niche cell types support HSPCs, however how they interact and their ultrastructure has been difficult to define.Here, we show that ealisboa.com single endogenous HSPCs can be tracked by light micro
