CD45 expression discriminates waves of embryonic megakaryocytes in the mouse [PDF]
Embryonic megakaryopoiesis starts in the yolk sac on gestational day 7.5 as part of the primitive wave of hematopoiesis, and it continues in the fetal liver when this organ is colonized by hematopoietic progenitors between day 9.5 and 10.5, as the ...

Transcription factor 3 is dysregulated in megakaryocytes in myelofibrosis
Transcription factor 3 (TCF3) is a DNA transcription factor that modulates megakaryocyte development. Although abnormal TCF3 expression has been identified in a range of hematological malignancies, to date, it has not been investigated in myelofibrosis ...

Role of platelets and megakaryocytes in adaptive immunity
The immune system is comprised of two principal interconnected components called innate and adaptive immunity. While the innate immune system mounts a nonspecific response that provides protection against the spread of foreign pathogens, the adaptive ...

CD34+ megakaryocytes and megakaryocytic fragments in myelodysplastic syndrome [PDF]
![Figure][1] A 65-year-old woman presented with fatigue and exertional dyspnea. The peripheral blood showed: hemoglobin, 91 g/L; leukocytes, 4.8 × 109/L with 1% blast cells; and platelets, 35 × 109/L with megakaryocytic fragments (panel A, filled black arrow; original magnification ×100;

Compartmentalized megakaryocyte death generates functional platelets committed to caspase-independent death [PDF]
Caspase-directed apoptosis usually fragments cells, releasing nonfunctional, prothrombogenic, membrane-bound apoptotic bodies marked for rapid engulfment by macrophages.

282. Megakaryocytes morphology in idiopathic (primary) myelofibrosis [PDF]
Idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder with hypercellular bone marrow and an increase in abnormal megakaryocytes, varying degrees of marrow fibrosis, and extramedullary hematopoiesis.

The duplication mutation of Quebec platelet disorder dysregulates PLAU, but not C10orf55, selectively increasing production of normal PLAU transcripts by megakaryocytes but not granulocytes. [PDF]
Quebec Platelet disorder (QPD) is a unique bleeding disorder that markedly increases urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) in megakaryocytes and platelets but not in plasma or urine.

Climacteric Lowers Plasma Levels of Platelet-Derived Microparticles: A Pilot Study in Pre-versus Postmenopausal Women [PDF]
Background: Climacteric increases the risk of thrombotic events by alteration of plasmatic coagulation. Up to now, less is known about changes in platelet-(PMP) and endothelial cell-derived microparticles (EMP). Methods: In this prospective study, plasma

: In vitro–grown megakaryocytes for generating platelets may have value in meeting the increasing demand for platelet transfusions. Remaining challenges have included the poor yield and quality of in vitro–generated platelets. We have shown that infusing
