Molecular biology of haematopoiesis 1993 basel meeting

This book, which is based on the fully edited contributions at the 8th Symposium on Molecular Biology of Haematopoiesis held in Basel in July, 1993, provides an overall view of the state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of haematopoiesis. Current knowledge and advances in the fields of growth factors (linking growth factors to protooncogenes, and the role of non-hormone growth factors such as heme and arachidonic acid metabolites to cell proliferation and differentiation) and gene transfer (the continuing revelation of the mechanism behind various biological events in which normal and abnormal cell proliferation and differentiation will be achieved) are discussed. The chapters cover such diverse areas as positive and negative regulatory molecules, update on stem cells for bone marrow tran
