Experimental Hematology Today - 1988 presents the latest results of research reflecting the diverse interests of basic and clinical hematologists. The major areas explored are hematopoietic regulation by cytokines; hematopoietic cellular growth regulation, with emphasis on the interaction of stromal with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells; granulopoietic regulators; gene transfers into hematopoietic progenitor cells; leukemogenesis; and bone marrow transplantation. All chapters report on research or clinical findings of the past year.
