Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are cells that can differentiate into any type of blood cell and can keep on making blood for the rest of a person's life. There is a role of HSCs in blood production and in many cellular processes such as apoptosis, calcium balance, mitochondria, and reactive oxygen species production. Mutations originating in HSCs)underlie genetic blood diseases. Additionally, HSCs are subject to the effects of aging, impairing their ability to maintain cell polarity. In this chapter, we extensively examined the characteristics and implications of HSCs.
