Research News and Information

Definition of 'Myelopoiesis'

Formation of MYELOID CELLS from the pluripotent HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS in the BONE MARROW via MYELOID STEM CELLS. Myelopoiesis generally refers to the production of leukocytes in blood, such as MONOCYTES and GRANULOCYTES. This process also produces precursor cells for MACROPHAGE and DENDRITIC CELLS found in the lymphoid tissue.

Common names: Myelopoiesis

Cytomegalovirus infection mimicking juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia showing hypersensitivity to granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor.

13 Dec 2009 We describe an infant with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection presenting as transient myeloproliferation resembling juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). The patient fulfilled the international diagnostic criteria of JMML, including hypersensitivity ... Read more...


PLZF is a regulator of homeostatic and cytokine-induced myeloid development.

30 Aug 2009 A major question in hematopoiesis is how the system maintains long-term homeostasis whereby the generation of large numbers of differentiated cells is balanced with the requirement for maintenance of progenitor pools, while remaining sufficiently ... Read more...


Regulation of myelopoiesis through syntenin-mediated modulation of IL-5 receptor output.

2 Aug 2009 The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)/interleukin (IL)-3/IL-5 receptor family regulates the production and function of myeloid cells. These cytokines signal through receptor complexes that consist of unique ligand-binding ... Read more...
