A Model for Megakaryopoiesis with State-Dependent Delay [PDF]
Summary: We analyze the stability of a system of differential equations with a threshold-defined delay arising from a model for platelet production. We consider a maturity-structured population of megakaryocyte progenitors and an age-structured population of platelets, where the cytokine thrombopoietin (TPO) increases the maturation rate of progenitors.

Megakaryopoiesis impairment through acute innate immune signaling activation by azacitidine
Mitigation of treatment-induced thrombocytopenia is an unmet clinical need in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia undergoing azacitidine therapy. Okoye-Okafor et al.

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.

Hematopoietic development is tightly regulated by various factors. The role of RNA m6A modification during fetal hematopoiesis, particularly in megakaryopoiesis, remains unclear.

Suppressive effects of anthrax lethal toxin on megakaryopoiesis. [PDF]
Anthrax lethal toxin (LT) is a major virulence factor of Bacillus anthracis. LT challenge suppresses platelet counts and platelet function in mice, however, the mechanism responsible for thrombocytopenia remains unclear.

Metabolic state of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is an important regulator of self‐renewal and lineage‐specific differentiation. Posttranslational modification of proteins via O‐GlcNAcylation is an ideal metabolic sensor, but how it contributes to ...

Testing for Non‐Severe Heritable Platelet Function Disorders
ABSTRACT Heritable platelet function disorders (HPFD) are a diverse group of bleeding disorders characterised by a primary qualitative defect in platelet function rather than platelet number. HPFD may be broadly categorised according to the severity of bleeding, with Glanzmann thrombasthenia and Bernard Soulier syndrome classically considered severe ...

The Hippo-p53 pathway in megakaryopoiesis
Megakaryocytes are among the largest and rarest cells in the body, accounting for approximately 0.01% of nucleated cells in the bone marrow. Their differentiation involves a progression from hematopoietic stem cell to the megakaryocyte progenitor and finally to platelets.[1][1] A key step in ...

Blood Cell Counts and the Duffy Null Phenotype: Beyond Neutropenia
ABSTRACT The absence of Duffy antigen expression on red blood cells, caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism in the DARC/ACKR1 gene, confers protection against malaria and is associated with lower absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) in some studied populations.
