During an investigation of the coating of the platelet surface, we noticed an elaborate surface structure which differs from that of other blood cells (unpublished results).

These cells are typically involved in blood clotting ... to mice alongside a drug called thrombopoietin, which increases megakaryocyte activation. The result was a sixfold increase in antibody ...

murine model was due to reduced proliferation of megakaryocyte erythroid progenitors and increased apoptosis of erythroblasts. Colony-forming cell assays indicated that the leukemic bone marrow ...
