Abstract excerpt
New blood cells are continually produced from the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in the bone marrow. Throughout the life-span of the organism, this stem cell reservoir sustains life. Although HSCs can persist in vivo longer than one life-span (Harrison et al., 1978), with aging, HSC regenerative potential diminishes and skewing from lymphopoiesis toward myelopoiesis occurs. The expansion in the HSC...
