Relating to or characteristic of hemocytoblasts or the process of blood cell formation and development from stem cells.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'kytos' (cell) + 'blastos' (bud) + '-ic' (adjective suffix). This technical adjective describes properties or conditions involving primitive blood-forming cells.
Leukemia is often called a hemocytoblastic disease because cancer causes primitive blood-forming cells to multiply uncontrollably instead of differentiating normally—it's like your stem cells forget how to grow up.
