Description

The Second Edition contains a wealth of new information on cytokines and the self-renewal, proliferation, maturation, and state of activity of hematopoietic and immunological progenitor cells and their progeny-demonstrating their efficacy in treating disease states associated with hematopoietic failure or impaired blood cell function. Discusses the demonstrated and potential clinical benefits of hematopoietic growth factors, the economic consequences of using these agents, and various practical usage concerns!
