<unk>  derives its name from its ability to induce the terminal differentiation of myeloid<unk>  cells, thus preventing their continued growth. Other properties attributed to the cytokine include: the growth promotion and cell differentiation of different types of target cells, influence on bone metabolism, cachexia, neural development, embryogenesis and inflammation. p53 regulated<unk>  has been shown to facilitate implantation in the mouse model and possibly in humans. It has been suggested that recombinant human<unk>  might help to improve the implantation rate in women with unexplained infertility.
