Blood formation starts from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, which are stored in an inactive or dormant state. Recent advances have demonstrated that these cells reside in specific regions of the marrow in niches close to the bone. The oxygen tension in these niches is low, and it has been suggested that this may explain why the stored blood stem cells are inactive, although it has remained unknown how this might be regulated.
