Abstract
Since the meeting on Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Erythropoietin and Erythropoiesis in September 1986 [1], we have witnessed several major developments in the study of red blood cell production. Several of these developments were discussed as theoretical considerations at that meeting. In the this report I would like to discuss some of the advances that have occurred over the past 4 years.
