What are Hematopoietic Stem Cells?

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are a type of stem cell found in the bone marrow that give rise to all the blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. HSCs are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of the blood system throughout life. They possess two unique properties: self-renewal and multipotency, enabling them to divide and produce more stem cells or differentiate into various types of blood cells.
