      Hello Lusxz, Sorry for the confusion I did not know that section would be on my public profile.

      Blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, which contains two distinct adult stem cell types: blood (‘haematopoietic’) stem cells (HSCs), which can generate all blood and immune cells, whilst mesenchymal stem cells (bone marrow stem cells BMSCs), which can form our bodies bones.
