Preferred Label : Hematopoiesis Pathway;
NCIt related terms : Regulation of hematopoiesis by cytokines;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: The process of hematopoiesis is regulated by various cytokines. The combination
of cytokines stimulates the proliferation and/or differentiation of the various hematopoietic
cell types. Bone marrow stromal cells are the major source of hematopoietic cytokines
in the non-infectious state. In the presence of infection, cytokines produced by activated
macrophages and TH cells induce hematopoietic activity. The induction by cytokines
results in rapid expansion of the population of white blood cells to fight infection.
