Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

The effects of bone marrow-conditioned medium obtained from colony-stimulating factor-producing tumor-bearing nude mice (G-BM-CM) on mouse and human granulocyte-macrophage colony formation and mouse erythroid colony and burst formation were studied. Addition of G-BM-CM into the mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming system containing colony-stimulating activity more strongly inhibited gran...

introduction: this study was designed to investigate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) administration in rats for 6 weeks after traumatic brain injury (tbi). methods: adult male wistar rats (n = 30) were injured with controlled cortical impact device and divided into four groups. the treatment groups (n = 10 each) were injected subcutaneously with recombinant human g-...
