The pioneering work of Till and McCulloch began to define the hierarchy of hematopoietic precursor cells using in vivo clonal assays. H ematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) develop in discrete anatomical niches, migrating during embryogenesis from the aorta- gonadmesonephros (AGM) region to the fetal liver, and finally to the bone marrow, where most HSCs reside throughout adult life. 1. Introduction and development

Hematopoiesis Defination : “ The processes involved in the production of all of the various cells of the blood from the HSCs are collectively called hematopoiesis ” Highly regulated process to maintain circulating cell numbers within relatively constant levels and to respond rapidly to conditions requiring extra cells .

Progenitor Cells Populations of differentiating cells that have an increasingly limited capacity to self-renew and are gradually more restricted in differentiation options. Lineage-specific transcription factors are thought to play essential roles in this process

Signaling Pathways
Transcription Factors TFs associated with the activation of a particular lineage-specific differentiation program often simultaneously inhibit alternate lineage-specific transcription factors. Interestingly, more than half of the hematopoietic transcription factors identified have been shown to be dysregulated in hematologic malignancies (translocations, point mutations of TF genes) Thus, the impaired differentiation seen in leukemia is likely due to abnormalities of critical, discrete pathways of transcriptional control.
