title: Regulation of hemopoietic system.
abstract: The regulation of the hemopoietic system is extremely complex. In this directed issue we have focussed on a few important control points, from extracellular growth factors binding to their cognate receptors and initiation of signalling cascades, to transcription factors and the pathway for hemoglobin synthesis. Major advances have been made in the field of hemopoiesis--critical new knowledge has been generated, much of which has been translated into clinical applications. The future for hemopoietic research is indeed bright and we eagerly await the next exciting installments.
