  2. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor - Wikipedia

    GM-CSF also has some effects on mature cells of the immune system. These include, for example, enhancing neutrophil migration and causing an alteration of the receptors expressed on the cells surface. [7] GM-CSF signals via signal transducer and activator of transcription, STAT5. [8] In macrophages, it has also been shown to signal via STAT3 ...

  3. Macrophage polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage_polarization

    Macrophage polarization is a process by which macrophages adopt different functional programs in response to the signals from their microenvironment. This ability is connected to their multiple roles in the organism: they are powerful effector cells of the innate immune system, but also important in removal of cellular debris, embryonic development and tissue repair.

  4. CFU-GEMM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFU-GEMM

    The GM-CSF and IL-3 both work together to stimulate production of all lines. When erythropoietin (EPO) is present, red blood cell production from the CFU-GEMM will be activated. G-CSF, M-CSF, IL-5, IL-4, and IL-3 stimulate the production of neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and platelets, respectively.

  5. Colony-stimulating factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony-stimulating_factor

    The name "colony-stimulating factors" comes from the method by which they were discovered. Hematopoietic stem cells were cultured (see cell culture) on a so-called semisolid matrix, which prevents cells from moving around, so that, if a single cell starts proliferating, all of the cells derived from it will remain clustered around the spot in the matrix where the first cell was originally located.

  6. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulocyte_colony...

    Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF), also known as colony-stimulating factor 3 (CSF 3), is a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the bloodstream. [5] [6]

    Lastly, activation of CSF1R is a strong chemokinetic signal, inducing macrophage polarization and chemotaxis towards the source of CSF1R ligand. This macrophage response requires rapid morphological changes which is achieved by remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton via the Src/ Pyk2 and PI3K signaling pathways. [9]

  8. CFU-GM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFU-GM

    CFU-GM (Colony Forming Unit–Granulocyte–Macrophage [a]), also known as granulocyte–macrophage progenitor (GMP), is a colony forming unit. It is derived from CFU-GEMM. It is the precursor for monoblasts and myeloblasts. Production is stimulated by granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).

  9. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage_colony...

    The colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), also known as macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), is a secreted cytokine which causes hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into macrophages or other related cell types. Eukaryotic cells also produce M-CSF in order to combat intercellular viral infection.
