In the haematopoietic system, the principal function of erythropoietin (Epo) is the regulation
of red blood cell production, mediated by its specific cell surface receptor (EpoR). Following …

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein that is mainly produced in the adult kidney, and it was
initially highlighted for its action on the hematopoietic system. Moreover, EPO is also …

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hypoxia-induced hormone produced in the kidneys that stimulates
hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. However, recent studies have also shown important …

Erythropoietin (EPO) is recognized for its function in erythropoiesis; however, its potential
antifibrotic effect against liver fibrosis remains unknown. This study examined whether EPO …

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone known to stimulate hematopoiesis. However, recent
research suggests additional properties of EPO, such as protection against …

Abstract Objective: Erythropoietin (EPO), a cytokine best known for its ability to increase red
blood cell mass, has recently been shown to protect cardiomyocytes from apoptotic cell …
