PY - 2016 T2 - Hematology in Clinical Practice, 5e AB - Normal myelopoiesis is essential to normal host defense. It involves the regulated production of new myeloid cells, including neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic granulocytes, as well as monocytes and macrophages. The process is driven by several growth factors that control both the rate of cell production and their subsequent function. Thus, an understanding of normal myelopoiesis requires knowledge of individual cell characteristics and the expected responses of these cells to disease states.
