<p>PPSC’s initially divide and differentiate into multipotential haematopoietic stem cells. Multipotential haematopoietic stem cells only have the ability to mature into a single cell lineage, either myeloid progenitors (granulocytes, erythroblasts, [[Macrophages|macrophages]] and megakaryocytes) or lymphoid progenitors. The development of blood cells from the multipotential haematopoietic stem cell into the final mature cell is categorised into:
