Abstract
This chapter discusses granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, which is the primary regulator of proliferation and differentiation, maturation, survival, and functions of neutrophils/granulocytes to exert the biological defense mechanism. It binds to the G-CSF receptor on the surface of neutrophil progenitors in the bone marrow.
