 Context examples 

This allele, which encodes interleukin-1 alpha protein, plays a role in various immune responses, inflammatory processes and hematopoiesis.

(IL1A wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

This gene plays a role in hematopoiesis and has neurotrophic activity.

(IL3 Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

The process of hematopoiesis is regulated by various cytokines.

(Hematopoiesis Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

Hematopoiesis Inhibition involves interference or restraint of a process of blood formation; more specifically formation of blood cells that are all derived from hematopoietic stem cells.

(Hematopoiesis Inhibition, NCI Thesaurus)

This allele, which encodes FMS-Related Tyrosine Kinase 3 protein, is involved in hematopoiesis may function as a growth factor receptor on hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells.

(FLT3 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

In addition to playing a role in inflammation and hematopoiesis, IL-6 is involved in other processes such as neuronal differentiation and bone loss.

(IL6 Signaling Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

This gene in involved in the regulation of cellular responses; such as the immune response, hematopoiesis, and acute-phase inflammatory reactions.

(IL6R Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

Although the mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated, plant-derived hematopoiesis enhancer PG2 appears to stimulate multi-lineage progenitor cells that may be closely related to the hematopoietic stem cell.

(Plant-Derived Hematopoiesis Enhancer PG2, NCI Thesaurus)

This agent stimulates proliferation of immature hematopoietic cells and allows the stimulation and expansion of multi-lineage hematopoiesis from immature bone marrow progenitor cells.

(Milodistim, NCI Thesaurus)
