Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM-CSF) enhance white blood cell function. These hematopoietic growth factors are effective in treating conditions like chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and aplastic anemia.
