CBA/H male mice have been used to study the recovery of haemopoietic stem cells following 3 Gy whole-body X-irradiation. Despite significant proliferation haemopoietic stem cells (measured as spleen colony-forming units or CFU-S) did not recover to control values and their numbers remained sub-optimal at 600 days post-irradiation. At this time there were significant increases in both proliferation and self-renewal characteristics of the CFU-S but no impairment of the capacity of bone marrow cells to rescue and repopulate lethally irradiated transplant recipients.

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...
