The activity of the hematopoietic system is staggering: daily, a normal adult produces approximately 2.5 billion erythrocytes, 2.5 billion platelets, and 1 billion granulocytes per kilogram of body weight. This production is adjusted in a timely fashion to changes in actual needs and can vary from nearly none to many times the normal rate depending on needs which vary from day to day, or even minute to minute. In response to a variety of stimuli, the cellular components of the blood are promptly increased or decreased in production to maintain appropriate numbers to optimally protect the host from hypoxia, infection, and hemorrhage. How does this all happen and happen without over or under responding? There has been extraordinary growth in our understanding ofhematopoiesis over the last two decades. Occupying center stage is the pluripotent stern cell and its progeny. Hematopoietic stern cells have been characterized by their capac | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | 关键词 | anemia; blood; chemotherapy; cytokine; cytokines; growth; growth factor; transplantation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-5013-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-7277-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-5013-6 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1999 |
