Abstract excerpt
Nonadherent marrow mononuclear cells enriched for hematopoietic progenitor cells were cultured in semisolid medium with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor for 9 days to form colony forming unit-granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM) colonies. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D was then gently layered over the cultures. After 2 weeks, approximately 30% of the colonies that formed were composed of...
