Descriptor mielopoyesis
Scope note: Formación de CÉLULAS MIELOIDES a partir de CÉLULAS MADRE HEMATOPOYÉTICAS pluripotentes en la MEDULA ÓSEA, a través de las CÉLULAS MADRE MIELOIDES. La mielopoyesis generalmente se refiere a la producción de leucocitos de la sangre, como MONOCITOS y GRANULOCITOS. Este proceso también genera células precursoras de MACRÓFAGOS y CÉLULAS DENDRÍTICAS, que pueden hallarse en el tejido linfoide.

Scope note: Formation of MYELOID CELLS from the pluripotent HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS in the BONE MARROW via MYELOID STEM CELLS. Myelopoiesis generally refers to the production of leukocytes in blood, such as MONOCYTES and GRANULOCYTES. This process also produces precursor cells for MACROPHAGE and DENDRITIC CELLS found in the lymphoid tissue.
