Over the past 25 years, a new class of drugs has become available to boost marrow function: the hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs).
Thrombopoietin. Thrombopoietin also known as megakaryocyte growth and development factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the THPO gene. Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone produced mainly by the liver and the kidney that regulates the production of platelets by the bone marrow. It stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that fragment into large numbers of platelets.
