Abstract:The hematopoietic microenvironment is composed of heterogeneous mesenchymal cells, such as osteoblasts, epithelial cells, fibroblastoid cells, adipocytes and macrophages, which are referred to as stromal cells. Stromal cells regulate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) by producing positive-and negative-regulators to supply mature hematopoietic cells for the lifetime.
