Definition of haemopoiesis in English:
haemopoiesis
(US hemopoiesis)
nounˌhiːmə(ʊ)pɔɪˈiːsɪsˌhiməpɔɪˈisɪs
mass nounThe production of blood cells and platelets, which occurs in the bone marrow.
Example sentencesExamples
- The modulating effect of drugs on hemopoiesis in exposure to neurotic factors is a consequence of their influence on the functional state of the cell elements of the hemopoiesis-inducing microenvironment.
- One may speculate that these immature B cells may play a critical role in the regenerative regulation of hemopoiesis, as well as in immune functions in the context of chronic cytopenias.
- In the massively enlarged spleen, extramedullary hemopoiesis was prominent, with clusters of atypical megakaryocytes with vacuoles and erythrophagocytosis.
- Under normal conditions of hemopoiesis, the bone marrow acts as a site for the turnover and traffic of mature leukocytes to the peripheral circulation.
- These studies may thus provide an insight into the regulators as well as the basic mechanism of hemopoiesis, hemopoietic regeneration and the underlying causes of hemopoietic disorders.
Derivatives
adjective
If a malignant haemopoietic condition relapses after an allogeneic transplant, lymphocyte infusions from the original donor can return the patient to remission by exploiting the graft versus tumour effect.
Example sentencesExamples
- These sites all contain a primitive, self-renewing population of blood-cell precursors, the haemopoietic stem cells, which are capable of producing all the different cells of the blood.
- Acquisition of genomic aberrations, a hallmark of malignancy, in regions of the genome that contain hemopoietic cell regulatory genes may also contribute to lymphomagenesis.
- The patients in our study demonstrated a PCP-associated decrease in total blood lymphocyte counts, suggesting that long-term exposure to PCP inhibits compensatory hemopoietic activity.
- However, some lesions are amelanotic and others demonstrate features similar to other malignant neoplasms of ectodermal, mesodermal, or hemopoietic origin.
Origin
Early 20th century: from haemo- 'of blood' + Greek poiēsis 'making'.
