Description
Concentrating on proven data and adopting a structure-function approach, this text provides grounding for an intricate understanding of the molecular biology, physiological mechanisms, and routine clinical use in disease settings of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). This edition includes eight additional chapters, with updates of recently-discovered and established CSFs, each indexed individually.
Table of Contents
- Overview: introduction to the haematopoietic system
- surrogate assays for haematopoietic stem cell activity
- receptors for haematopoietic regulators
- regulation of the cell cycle by kinases and cyclins
- gene organization and regulation
- cytokines and apoptosis - the mechanism of regulation of cell death
- haematopoietic microenvironments
