MeSH definition : The process of generating white blood cells (LEUKOCYTES) from the pluripotent HEMATOPOIETIC
STEM CELLS of the BONE MARROW. There are two significant pathways to generate various
types of leukocytes: MYELOPOIESIS, in which leukocytes in the blood are derived from
MYELOID STEM CELLS, and LYMPHOPOIESIS, in which leukocytes of the lymphatic system
(LYMPHOCYTES) are generated from lymphoid stem cells.;
