General Information
Biological Significance
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all the blood cell types including myeloid (monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets, dendritic cells), and lymphoid lineages (T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells). HSC fall into 16 classes with distinct repopulation kinetics, and 3 categories of lineage bias distinguished by their ratio of lymphoid to myeloid progeny (L/M) in blood.
