| 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.
