Stem Cell Theory

↳ Till and McCulloch (1961)

.

…..➙ Conducted experiments on mice creating a state of aplasia.

.

…..➙ Aplastic mice were given an intravenous injection of marrow cells.

.

…..➙ Colonies of HSCs were seen 7 to 8 days later in the spleens of the irradiated mice and called CFU-S.

.

…..➙ CFU-S represents committed myeloid progenitors or CFU-GEMM.

.

↳ Originally, there were two theories describing the origin of hematopoietic progenitor cells.

.

…..➙ Monophyletic Theory and Polyphyletic Theory

.

↳ HSCs are directed to one of three possible fates: self-renewal, differentiation, or apoptosis.

.

↳ When the HSC divides, it gives rise to two identical daughter cells.
