Description Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the progenitor cells at the foundation of the blood differentiation hierarchy and provide continuous haematopoietic cell production throughout life (Welner et al, 2008). However, only a small subset of progenitor cells are usually termed stem cells. The critical balance between stem and differentiated cell populations is crucial for the long-term maintenance of functional tissue types. Stem cells maintain this balance by choosing one of the several alternate fates of self-renewal, commitment to differentiate, and senescence or cell death. The self-renewal property is important, as it allows for extended production of the corresponding differentiated cells throughout the life span of the animal.
