Abstract: Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is now routinely used to treat patients with cancers and other disorders of the blood and immune systems, which makes the needed compatible HSC on clinical therapy often facing deficiency, therefore, it is urgent to seek new source of HSC. Recently, great progress has been made on research of getting hematopoietic stem cells derived from embryonic stem cells in vitro, which is significant to supply abundant source of hematopoietic stem cells in basic research and clinical therapy. This paper reviews the recent advances on hematopoietic stem cells derived from embryonic stem cells in vitro.
