What Does CSF Stand For?
CSF stands for Colony Stimulating Factor
CSF, or Colony Stimulating Factor, refers to a group of glycoproteins that play a crucial role in the regulation of blood cell production and differentiation in the bone marrow. These factors are essential for stimulating the growth and development of specific blood cell lineages, including granulocytes and macrophages, thereby contributing to the immune response. CSFs are important in both physiological processes and therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of conditions such as neutropenia and in the context of cancer therapies.
