GlossaryHematopoietic Stem Cells

produce all types of blood cells in bone marrow

Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) are a type of stem cell found in the bone marrow that are responsible for producing all the different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These cells have the unique ability to both self-renew, creating more HSCs, and differentiate into various specialized blood cells, making them crucial for maintaining a healthy and functional blood system.
