According to a study from the United States, "Bcl2 is a potent antiapoptotic gene that can increase resistance of adult bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells to lethal irradiation, and thereby preserve their ability to differentiate. However, the effect of Bcl2 on murine embryonic stem (ES) cells induced to undergo hematopoietic differentiation in the absence of a toxic stress is not known."
