Blodstamcellerna
Blodstamcellerna, also known as hematopoietic stem cells, are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into all types of blood cells, including myeloid and lymphoid lineages. They are found in the bone marrow and are responsible for continuously replenishing the body's blood supply throughout an individual's life. These remarkable cells possess the unique ability of self-renewal, meaning they can divide to produce more stem cells, ensuring a lifelong supply.
The process of hematopoiesis, the formation of blood cellular components, begins with these primitive cells. From
Disorders affecting blood stem cells can lead to a range of serious medical conditions, including leukemia
