IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hematopoiesis – the formation of blood cellular components – occurs during embryonic development and throughout adulthood to produce and replenish the blood system. Studying hematopoiesis can help scientists and clinicians to understand better the processes behind blood disorders and cancers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of hematopoiesis begins with an unspecialized stem cell. This stem cell multiplies, and some of these new cells transform into precursor cells. These are cells that are destined to become a particular type of blood cell but are not yet fully developed.

Detailed explanation-3: -A number of studies have now confirmed that the development of the hematopoietic system, in humans and other mammals, occurs in two phases: a primitive hematopoietic phase that gives rise to transitory, bi-potent HSCs, and a definitive hematopoietic phase that generates long-lived, multipotent HSCs [3].
