Descriptions

A Histiocyte is a cell that is part of the human immune system. All categories of Histiocytes are derived from the bone marrow by multiplication from a stem cell. The derived cells migrate from the bone marrow to the blood as monocytes. They circulate through the body and stop in various organs where they undergo differentiation into histiocytes which are part of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS).
