miRNAs involved in hematopoietic differenciation and function. Blood cells derive from a common hematopoietic stem cell progenitor (HSP) which differenciate into at least 8 lineages, through progenitor cells. For simplicity, the progenitor cells are not shown and only four of the main hematopoitic lineages are depicted. miRNAs that are reported to be involved in the differentiation of the shown lineages based on the mouse models are noted. Consult the text for further details.
