Fig. 3. Haematopoiesis. Blood cell production is maintained by a small population of stem cells found in the bone marrow; these cells have the ability to self-renew or differentiate. Cells then differentiate to multi-potential and lineage committed progenitors; these cells can’t be distinguished morphologically, only by the use of clonogenic assays. The final stage of differentiation is when the cells develop their characteristic morphology and are released into the circulation
