An immature blood cell or blood-forming cell, particularly those in early stages of development.
From Greek haema (blood) + blastos (sprout or bud). Used in hematology to describe primitive cells that develop into mature blood cells.
Haematoblasts are like stem cells in your bone marrow—they're the fresh sprouts that grow into all your different blood cells, and tracking them is crucial for diagnosing leukemia and other blood disorders.
