Analysis of erythropoeisis at the molecular level

Abstract

Recent work has clarified how different erythroid functions may be regulated during normal erythropoiesis, and have helped to define the role of the hormone erythropoietin. Studies with cell lines (Friend cells) capable of undergoing erythroid differentiation in culture have made possible a comparison of normal and leukaemic erythropoiesis, by the combined approaches of cell biology, molecular biology and somatic cell genetics.
