Do stem cells play dice?

THE DEBATE SURROUNDING the issue of whether or not hematopoietic stem cell commitment and differentiation are orchestrated in a cell-intrinsic or cell-extrinsic fashion is in many ways akin to the nature versus nurture debate that typifies discussions of human personal potentials.
