G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor)

Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is a naturally occurring protein in the body that stimulates the production of white blood cells, specifically neutrophils, which are crucial for fighting infections. G-CSF is often used as a medication to help patients undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow disorders by boosting their immune system. This helps reduce the risk of infections during treatment. Essentially, G-CSF encourages the body to produce more white blood cells, supporting overall immune health.
