Cells from which all blood cells derive. The bone marrow is rich in stem cells.

Cells from which all blood cells derive. Bone marrow is rich in stem cells. Clones of stem cells may become any one of the repertoire of immune cells depending upon what cytokines and hormones they are exposed to.

The blood cells that produce other blood cells. It is the stem cells that are needed in bone marrow transplantation.
See more Hematology Terms ...

Cells that have the ability to divide for an indefinite time and to give rise to specialized cells.
See more Huntingtons Disease Terms ...

The cells from which all blood cells develop from, such as the white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.
See more Lymphoma Terms ...

Cells that give rise to the different types of blood cells
See more Medical Terms ...

The blood cells that produce other blood cells. It is the stem cells that are needed in bone marrow transplantation.
See more Pathology Terms ...

Stem cells are relatively undifferentiated cells that can develop into different/any kind of cell in the human body. Most cells have a specific function eg. liver cells, skin cells, brain cells and so forth and once they have taken on this function, in a process called differentiation, they can't be adapted for any other function. Stem cells, however, have not gone through the differentiation process.
See more Science Terms ...

Cells that have both the capacity to self-renew (make more stem cells by cell division) as well as to differentiate into mature, specialized cells.
