Can we continue research in splenectomized dogs? Mycoplasma haemocanis: Old problem - New insight [PDF]
We report the appearance of a Mycoplasma haemocanis infection in laboratory dogs, which has been reported previously, yet, never before in Europe. Outbreak of the disease was triggered by a splenectomy intended to prepare the dogs for a hemorrhagic shock

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.

Evidence for a role of TRIB3 in the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis [PDF]
Megakaryocytopoiesis is a complex differentiation process driven by the hormone thrombopoietin by which haematopoietic progenitor cells give rise to megakaryocytes, the giant bone marrow cells that in turn break down to form blood platelets.

PI3K/HSCB axis facilitates FOG1 nuclear translocation to promote erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis
Erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis are stringently regulated by signaling pathways. However, the precise molecular mechanisms through which signaling pathways regulate key transcription factors controlling erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis remain ...

Annexin V and CXCR4 Expression in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia. Control Randomized Study [PDF]
Background: Annexin V is a cellular protein used to detect apoptotic cells by its ability to bind to phosphatidylserine, a marker of apoptosis when it is on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane.CXCR4 is expressed on cells of megakaryocytic series ...

Thrombopoietic effect of VPAC1 inhibition during megakaryopoiesis [PDF]
SummaryMegakaryocytes and platelets express the stimulatory G protein (Gs)‐coupled VPAC1 receptor, for which the pituitary adenylyl cyclase‐activating peptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are agonists. The neuropeptide PACAP and VPAC1 were previously found to negatively regulate megakaryopoiesis, and inhibition of their physiological

Transcriptional diversity during lineage commitment of human blood progenitors. [PDF]
Blood cells derive from hematopoietic stem cells through stepwise fating events. To characterize gene expression programs driving lineage choice, we sequenced RNA from eight primary human hematopoietic progenitor populations representing the major ...

Foxp3 Regulates Megakaryopoiesis and Platelet Function [PDF]
Objective— Platelets are crucial for hemostasis and are vital regulators of inflammation. Foxp3 is a key transcription factor for T regulatory cell development. Humans with IPEX (immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, x-linked) and the scurfy (

A novel signalling screen demonstrates that CALR mutations activate essential MAPK signalling and facilitate megakaryocyte differentiation. [PDF]
Most MPN patients lacking JAK2 mutations harbour somatic CALR mutations that are thought to activate cytokine signalling although the mechanism is unclear.
