Megakaryocytes in Bone Metastasis: Protection or Progression?
Bone is the primary site where some cancers develop secondary growth, particularly those derived from breast and prostate tissue. The spread of metastasis to distant sites relies on complex mechanisms by which only cells endowed with certain ...

In vitro human embryonic stem cell hematopoiesis mimics MYB-independent yolk sac hematopoiesis [PDF]
Although hematopoietic precursor activity can be generated in vitro from human embryonic stem cells, there is no solid evidence for the appearance of multipotent, self-renewing and transplantable hematopoietic stem cells.

A subset of megakaryocytes regulates development of hematopoietic stem cell precursors
Understanding the regulatory mechanisms facilitating hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) specification during embryogenesis is important for the generation of HSCs in vitro.

A megakaryocyte in the peripheral blood: evidence for pulmonary migration?
Pulmonary megakaryocytes were first identified over a century ago, but their origin is still debated. Two rare images of circulating megakaryocytes are presented to illustrate this discussion: The first shows an intact megakaryocyte with abundant ...

A platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) is expressed on the plasma membrane after activation. [PDF]
We have previously characterized a monoclonal antibody, S12, that binds only to activated platelets (McEver, R.P., and M.N. Martin, 1984, J. Biol. Chem., 259:9799-9804). It identifies a platelet membrane protein of Mr 140,000, which we have designated as

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 ...

PLATELET TURNOVER AND ATHEROTHROMBOSIS
Platelets play an important role in initiating atherothrombosis, i.e. the formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel at areas of atherosclerotic vascular injury.

Severe Case of Peripheral Leukocytosis Initially Diagnosed as Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, Unclassifiable, but Possibly Prefibrotic Primary Myelofibrosis [PDF]
Leukocytosis is occasionally seen in patients with presumptive but undiagnosed myeloproliferative disorders (MPD). A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for tarry stools, anemia, and marked peripheral leukocytosis of 1.4×105/μL ...

Non-specific binding of antibodies in immunohistochemistry: Fakes and facts [PDF]
Protocols for blocking non-specific antibody (Ab) binding in immunohistochemistry are based on rather contradictory and outdated reports. This prompted us to prove, whether non-specific Ab binding may really lead to unwanted background staining in ...
