愛麗絲的day dream

Erythropiesis (紅血球生成) is a process of producing Red Blood Cells (RBC) from bone marrow stem cells. The process incluces different stages. At last, cells will go through maturation, losing nucleus and other organells, than get into blood circularion.  The production of RBC is EPO required. This cytokin is produced from kidney (mainly) and liver, than transported to bone morrow.

It is very important to maintain the normal function of erythropoiesis. The reason is that if there is somthing wrong during the process, the numbers of RBC will be decrease (or with low life-span of RBC). The outcome of it must be anemia. Hence by investigating the control of mechanisum in erythropoiesis, it can help us to develop new durg for treating anemia.
