Studies on myeloid differentiation: cytokine influence and identification of a novel marker gene
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA I blodet finns en mängd olika celltyper som alla har sin specifika funktion. De röda blodkropparna (erytrocyterna), transporterar livsnödvändigt syre till kroppens alla vävnader. De vita blodkropparna (leukocyterna), vilka inkluderar lymfocyter, monocyter och granulocyter, deltar i kroppens immunförsvar och skyddar kroppen Hematopoiesis is a highly complex process by which a range of specialized blood cells are generated from a small pool of multipotent stem cells in the bone marrow. The survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells are tightly regulated by both soluble and membrane-bound cytokines produced within the bone marrow microenvironment. Kit Ligand (KL) and Flt3 Ligand (FL) are t
