INTRODUCTION:
The haemopoietic system is the best-characterized hierarchy of cell lineage differentiation, and has set the paradigm for the proliferation and differentiation of tissue-specific stem cells.
Haematopoietic Stem Cells (HCS):
HSCs produce immature progenitors which gradually proliferate and differentiate to attain lineage differentiation potential.
