Thrombin Stimulates Synthesis of Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor, Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor by Human Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells in Culture [PDF]
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are well-known hematopoietic growth factors. Although recent studies revealed that CSFs are involved in many inflammatory conditions, the local production of CSFs and its regulation in the kidney is not well elucidated.

Towards a new understanding of decision-making by hematopoietic stem cells [PDF]
Cells within the hematopoietic stem cell compartment selectively express receptors for cytokines that have a lineage(s) specific role; they include erythropoietin, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte ...

Study on Hemostimulating Properties of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor
The hemostimulating properties of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) make possible its clinical use in alleviating side effects of anti-cancer radio- and chemotherapy, in bone marrow transplantation, and in the treatment of some ...

The discovery of angiogenic growth factors: the contribution of Italian scientists [PDF]
Angiogenesis is regulated, under both physiological and pathological conditions, by numerous “non-classic” pro-angiogenic factors, including fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and placental growth factor (PlGF),

Myeloid Colony Stimulating Factors as Regulators of Macrophage Polarization
The scope of functional heterogeneity in macrophages has been defined by two polarized end states known as M1 and M2, which exhibit the pro-inflammatory activities necessary for host defense and the tissue repair activities required for tissue repair ...
