What is the role of the Notch signaling pathway in the regulation of hematopoietic cell fate decisions?

A It promotes the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into erythrocytes
B It inhibits the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells
C It regulates the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells ✓
D It induces the apoptosis of hematopoietic stem cells

Explanation

The Notch signaling pathway plays a crucial role in regulating the balance between self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, influencing their cell fate decisions.
