Figure 1
Structure of the hematopoietic compartment. Bone marrow pluripotent stem cells may either self-renew or give rise to eight different hematopoietic lineages through a gradual process of commitment and differentiation. Some of the cytokines involoved in supporting this process are illustrated. M-CSF, Macrophage colony stimulating factor; SCF, stem cell factor; Epo, erythropoietin; Tpo, thrombopoietin; CFU-GEMM, CFU granulocyte-erythroid-monocyte-megakaryocyte; CFU-GM, CFU granulocyte-monocyte; CFU-me, CFU megakaryocyte; CFU-E, CFU erythroid; CFU-Eo, CFU eosinophil; BFU-E, burst-forming unit erythroid.
Figure 2
Figure 2
The stochastic model for cell fate determination. A possible sequence of events or “family tree” in which a single progenitor gives rise to a hematopoietic colony containing a mixture of differentiated and undifferentiated cells. “Birth” (self-renewal, black circles) or “death” (differentiation, white circles) occur as probabilistic events (11). The probability P or “1-P” for each outcome is the same at each generation.
