Abstract
Hematopoietic growth factors have been thought to control blood cell p roduction by stimulating proliferation and differentiation of hematopo ietic progenitor cells. However, recent studies show that these growth factors prevent programmed death in progenitor cells. A model of hema topoiesis based on prevention of this death by hematopoietic growth fa ctors is presented.
