What Role Do Lineage Committed Progenitors Play in Tissue Development?
Lineage committed progenitors are essential for the formation and maintenance of specific tissues. For example, in the bone marrow, myeloid and lymphoid progenitors give rise to various blood cells. In epithelial tissues, progenitor cells are responsible for regenerating the lining of organs. Their role is to ensure that tissues can both develop properly and maintain homeostasis.
