It is a cellular scaffolding or skeleton contained within the cytoplasm, present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. For more details read out the article:
  • Stem Cell Factor (SCF)- The c-kit ligand
    Hematopoiesis is governed by a number of cytokines that promote the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells. Stem cell factor (SCF; also known as kit ligand, mast cell growth factor, or steel factor) is a hematopoietic cytokine that triggers its biologic effects by binding to its receptor, c-kit.

    Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms. The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade our systems and cause disease. For more details read out the following article:-
