Pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell

Pluripotential hemopoietic stem cells or pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells (PHSCs) are stem cells found in the bone marrow. They are called pluripotential because these cells have the ability to differentiate into any of several types of blood cells. Hemopoiesis is the formation of blood cellular components. Myeloid cells is a subsummating term for all hemopoietic cells except the lymphoid ones (T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells, dendritic cells). The tissue of bone marrow, where they form, is called myeloid tissue.
