The Role of Microbiota and Immunobiotics in Granulopoiesis of Immunocompromised Hosts [PDF]
The number of granulocytes is maintained by a regulated balance between granulopoiesis in the bone marrow and clearance and destruction in peripheral tissues. Granulopoiesis plays a fundamental role in the innate immune response.
