Developmental timeline of human and mouse tissues and cells. This shows the developmental timeline for various tissues and cells from conception through the lactation period. Cells and tissues include: adipocytes, yolk sac (site of early formation of blood), liver hematopoiesis (main site of hematopoietic stem cell expansion and differentiation), and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell (BM HSC) differentiating into immune cells (e.g. macrophages). This figure was adapted from another of our studies9.
