When it became clear that unique features of the fetal immune system could not be reproduced by adult stem cells, it was hypothesized that a lineage of definitive fetal hematopoietic stem cells predominates antenatally, ultimately giving way to an emerging wave of adult stem cells and resulting in a “layered” fetal immune system consisting of overlapping lineages. It is now clear, however, that the transition from human fetal-to-adult T cell identity and function does not occur due to a binary switch between distinct fetal and adult lineages. Rather, recent evidence from single cell analysis suggests that during the latter half of fetal development a gradual, progressive transition occurs at the level of hematopoietic stem-progenitor cells (HSPCs) which is reflected in their T cell progeny. At a transcriptional level, clusters of genes are up- and down-regulated with sequenced timing, suggesting that the transition is under the control of master regulatory factors, including epigenetic modifiers. The net effect is still one of “molecular layering,” that is, the continuous layering of iterative generations of HSPCs and T cells that arise through progressive changes in gene expression. This review will focus on recent discoveries that elucidate mechanisms of fetal T cell function and the transition from fetal to adult identity. The epigenetic landscape of fetal T cells facilitates their ability to fulfill the dominant fetal mandate of generating tolerance against self, maternal, and environmental antigens by supporting their predisposition to differentiate into CD25<sup>+</sup>FoxP3<sup>+</sup> regulatory T cells (T<sub>Regs</sub>).

It has been shown that various immune cells arise at different embryonic ages via multiple waves of hematopoiesis from special endothelial cells (ECs), referred to as hemogenic ECs. However, it remains unknown whether these fetal-derived immune cells are produced by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during the fetal to neonatal period.

In this review, we will review the history of the search for the origins of HSCs, B-1a progenitors, and mast cells in the mouse embryo. HSCs can produce both B-1a and mast cells within a very limited time window, and this ability declines after embryonic day (E) 14.5.

Important sources of serotonin and 5-HIAA are platelets and mast cells. We discuss the dynamics of cell migration into inflamed tissues and how multiple platelet and mast cell-derived mediators, including 5-HIAA, cooperate to promote neutrophil recruitment. Additional actions of GPR35 in tissue physiology are reviewed.

Despite this, they are most widely known for their detrimental roles in allergy, anaphylaxis, and atopic disease. Just like macrophages, mast cells were conventionally thought to originate from the bone marrow. However, they are already present in fetal tissues before the onset of bone marrow hematopoiesis, questioning this dogma. In recent years, our view of myeloid cell ontogeny has been revised. We now know that the first mast cells originate from progenitors made in the extra-embryonic yolk sac, and later get supplemented with mast cells produced from subsequent waves of hematopoiesis. In most connective tissues, sizeable populations of fetal-derived mast cells persist into adulthood, where they self-maintain largely independently from the bone marrow. These developmental origins are highly reminiscent of macrophages, which are known to have critical functions in development. Mast cells too may thus support healthy development. Their fetal origins and longevity also make mast cells susceptible to genetic and environmental perturbations, which may render them pathological. Here, we review our current understanding of mast cell biology from a developmental perspective. We first summarize how mast cell populations are established from distinct hematopoietic progenitor waves, and how they are subsequently maintained throughout life.
