In conventional opinion, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are alike, possessing robust self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capacity. However, growing evidence has revealed striking functional heterogeneity among individual HSCs, particularly in the aspect of lymphomyeloid output1,2,3. Four subtypes of HSCs with distinct differentiation patterns have been identified and designated as α-, β-, γ-, and δ-HSCs4.
