Hematopoietic microenvironment or niche keeps stem cells in multi-potent/ uni-potent state which prevents precocious differentiation. The niche employs a variety of factors includes growth factors, cytokines and cell adhesion molecules too. In this section, we try to have a better understanding about the role of hematopoietic stem cells, niche and hematopoiesis as well as we demonstrate that leukemia induced reprogramming initially and then remodeling of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment which can be a major part of leukemogenesis and is a potential prognostic parameter in malignant hematopoietic disease as well. |
