Description
The body's defence against invading microorganisms is delegated to two sets of haemopoietic cells. These share their ancestral origin from multipotential haemopoietic stem cells and they need to be produced continuously throughout life. This biology requires complex programmes of controlled cell division, differentiation commitment and maturation.
