Which of the following is not true of hematopoiesis? Stem cells are precursors to polymorphs Stem cells differentiate into blood cells and megakaryocytes via the Erythrocytes/Megakaryocytes lineage Macrophages and dendritic cells develop and mature in the bone marrow Stem cells can self-renew Stem cells are precursors to RBCs and megakaryocytes

Which of the following is FALSE about stem cells? They divide frequently to generate new cells. They are able to self-renew. They are undifferentiated. They are present in a very small percentage. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) is a Nobel Prize-winning biomedical discovery. Which of the following is FALSE about iPS? They are derived from embryonic stem cells. They are able to self-renew. They are able to differentiate into all the cell types in our body. They are created by forced expression of stem cell genes.
