Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are crucial intermediates in the process of hematopoiesis, which is the formation of blood cellular components. These cells are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which reside primarily in the bone marrow. HPCs have limited self-renewal capacity and can differentiate into various lineage-committed progenitors that give rise to specific types of blood cells, such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.
