Как считается эта оценка

Складывается из проверяемых признаков самой записи: есть ли у статьи DOI, сколько независимых источников подтвердили её данные, заполнены ли обязательные поля и насколько свежо последнее подтверждение. Снижают оценку расхождения между источниками и отсутствие идентификатора. Значение от 80 означает, что запись опубликована без дополнительной проверки; от 60 до 79 — что она опубликована с пониженной достоверностью и ручная проверка желательна. Запись, выверенную редактором вручную, пересчёт не опускает ниже 90. Это оценка наших данных о статье, а не оценка самой статьи.

Аннотация

Leukopenia remains a major clinical challenge associated with infectious diseases, oncological therapies, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic and iatrogenic conditions. Insufficient leukopoiesis not only increases susceptibility to infections but also limits the intensity and continuity of anticancer and immunosuppressive treatments. Targeted stimulation of leukopoiesis therefore represents a critical therapeutic strategy in modern biomedicine. This narrative review summarizes pharmacological and biotechnological approaches to leukopoiesis stimulation based on an analysis of peer-reviewed literature from major biomedical databases. Emphasis was placed on molecular mechanisms of action, clinical positioning, and translational potential of leukopoiesis-modulating agents. Current leukopoiesis-stimulating strategies encompass cytokine-based therapies, bone marrow-derived peptides, thymic and microbial immunomodulators, nucleic acid-based agents, plant-derived compounds, and chemically synthesized small molecules. Classical colony-stimulating factors remain the cornerstone of clinical practice; however, their limitations, including adverse effects and restricted spectrum of action, have driven the development of alternative approaches. Emerging strategies increasingly target specific regulatory nodes of hematopoiesis, including bone marrow stromal interactions, transcription factor signaling, chemokine receptor pathways, and immune cell differentiation programs. Advances in the understanding of leukopoiesis regulation have expanded therapeutic opportunities beyond conventional growth factor administration. Pharmacological and biotechnological targeting of leukopoiesis holds promise for improving clinical outcomes in patients with leukopenia of diverse etiologies. Future progress in this field will depend on the integration of mechanistic insights with clinical evidence to enable more selective, effective, and safer leukopoiesis-stimulating therapies.
