THE PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL — Following the atomic bombings in World War II, there was great interest in the effects of radiation. Lethally irradiated mice frequently died as a consequence of neutropenic infections and thrombocytopenic hemorrhage. Their marrow was found to be "aplastic." That is, the myeloid and erythroid precursors were absent, as were lymphocytes and megakaryocytes, leaving only fat cells, stromal elements, and blood vessels. Two striking observations in this model led to the discovery of the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell, which could reconstitute all of hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis:
