Hemogenic endothelium
Hemogenic endothelium or haemogenic endothelium[1] is a special subset of endothelial cells scattered within blood vessels that can differentiate into haematopoietic cells.[2]
The development of hematopoietic cells in the embryo proceeds sequentially from mesoderm through the hemangioblast to the hemogenic endothelium and hematopoietic progenitors.[3] The relationship between the hemogenic endothelium and the hemangioblast is not clearly understood.[1]
