Abstract ( hsc full form ) It is believed that the mammalian blood System includes more than ten types of mature cells. It is built on one type of cell called hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Within the system, only HSC that are capable of self-renewal as well as multi-potency. Multi-potency refers to the ability to differentiate into functional blood cells of all kinds. Self-renewal may result in HSC that are not differentiated. Because mature blood cells are generally shorter-lived, HSC continuously provide more differentiated progenitors, while ensuring that they maintain the HSC size in a way that is appropriate throughout their lifespan by precisely balancing self-renewal and differentiation. Understanding the mechanism of self-renewal and differentiation HSC is an important problem. In this review, we concentrate on the hierarchy of the hematopoietic system the current knowledge of the microenvironmental and molecular cue...
