Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome, WAS/WAVE, is a rare, X-linked immune-deficiency disease caused by mutations in the WAS gene, which together with its homolog, N-WASP, regulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and cell motility.

Hybrid Models in Erythropoiesis and in Megakaryopoiesis [PDF]
Summary: Hematopoiesis is a complex process which results in production of erythrocytes, platelets and white blood cells from pluripotent stem cells located in the bone marrow. We will present hybrid models of hematopoiesis and will use them to study the lineage choice of bipotent erythro-megakaryocytic progenitors and erythroid lineage of ...

Thrombocytopenia is a major complication in a subset of patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, little is known about its development and significance during MM. Here, we show thrombocytopenia is linked to poor prognosis in MM.

BMP2K dysregulation promotes abnormal megakaryopoiesis in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
Background Forced polyploidization is an effective strategy for acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) therapy and factors controlling polyploidization are potential targets for drug development. Although bone morphology protein 2-inducible kinase (BMP2K)

PKCθ is dispensable for megakaryopoiesis
Megakaryocytes are large polyploid cells that produce platelets. Megakaryocytes undergo an abbreviated cell cycle (known as endomitosis) that does not proceed to cytokinesis [1].

The Involvement of Canonical NFκB Pathway in Megakaryocyte Differentiation Induction by Nanocurcumin
Background: Megakaryopoiesis is characterized by progressive polyploidization and the expression of megakaryocytic markers. Numerous transcription factors and physiological signaling pathways regulate this phenomenon.

Novel function of FAXDC2 in megakaryopoiesis [PDF]
AbstractFAXDC2 (fatty acid hydroxylase domain containing 2) is a member of the fatty acid hydroxylase superfamily. Given the important role of fatty acids in megakaryocytes, we have studied the role of this gene in the development of this lineage. Here we show that the expression of FAXDC2 is constantly elevated during megakaryocyte maturation.

A novel method for automated assessment of megakaryocyte differentiation and proplatelet formation
Transfusion of platelet concentrates represents an important treatment for various bleeding complications. However, the short half-life and frequent contaminations with bacteria restrict the availability of platelet concentrates and raise a clear demand ...
