Human and murine erythropoiesis. | Article | H1 Connect

Erythropoiesis is the developmental pathway by which red blood cells – specialized hemoglobin-containing cells that deliver oxygen throughout the body – are produced from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This article provides a useful guide to this process, during which each cell division is coincident with major changes in gene expression, resulting in daughter cells that are morphologically and transcriptionally distinct from the mother cell.
