Hematopoietic Growth Factors
Hematopoietic growth factors are specialized proteins that stimulate the production and development of blood cells in the bone marrow. They guide stem cells to become specific types of blood cells, such as white cells to fight infection, red cells to carry oxygen, or platelets to help blood clot. These factors are naturally made by the body but can also be used medically to treat conditions like anemia or low white blood cell counts caused by chemotherapy or disease. They help maintain healthy blood cell levels, supporting overall immune and circulatory system function.
