Understanding Granocytes

Granocytes play a crucial role in stimulating the production of neutrophils in the body.

Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)

  • Natural Production: G-CSF is produced naturally by certain cells within the bone marrow.

Granocyte as a Synthetic Version

  • Man-Made: Granocyte is a synthetic (man-made) version of G-CSF.
  • Function: It stimulates the production of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, similar to the naturally produced G-CSF.
