CSFs in blood cell production and the types of TNF
THE CONTEXT
The passage describes how colony-stimulating factors meet changing blood cell requirements and introduces tumour necrosis factor.
Physiological and clinical roles of CSFs
•
Colony-stimulating factors (
CSFs
) adjust the rate of blood cell production according to requirements.
•
The massive granulocyte response in pyogenic infections
is an example of this adjustment.
•
CSFs
have clinical applications in treating hematopoietic dysfunctions in infections and malignancies.
Tumour necrosis factor
•
Tumour necrosis factor (
TNF
)
* occurs as two types: alpha and beta.
