Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) isolated from bone marrow have been successfully employed for 50 years in hematological transplantations. Currently, these cells are more frequently isolated from mobilized peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood. In this chapter, we overview several topics related to these cells including their phenotype, methods for isolation, and in vitro and in vivo assays to evaluate their proliferative potential. The successful clinical application of HSPCs is widely understood to have helped establish the rationale for the development of stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine.
