Microbiota-Derived Propionate Modulates Megakaryopoiesis and Platelet Function
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events driven by abnormal platelet clotting effects. Platelets are produced by megakaryocytes, deriving from megakaryocyte erythrocyte progenitors (MEP) in the bone marrow.

Historical review: megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis [PDF]
Abstract The study of thrombopoiesis has evolved greatly since an era when platelets were termed “the dust of the blood,” only about 100 years ago. During this time megakaryocytes were identified as the origin of blood platelets; marrow-derived megakaryocytic progenitor cells were functionally defined and then purified; and the primary ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Jacobsen syndrome, resulting from a terminal deletion of chromosome 11 (11q), may lead to an increased bleeding tendency due to low platelet counts or platelet dysfunction. Currently, information on bleeding tendency and platelet function in patients with nonterminal 11q‐aberrations such as larger deletions, interstitial 11q ...

Pairing megakaryopoiesis methylation with PEAR1 [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Izzi et al pair a platelet function–associated single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with allele-specific methylation at a cytosine guanine dinucleotide (CpG) island and regulation of platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1 (PEAR1) RNA expression in megakaryopoiesis, describing one of the first epigenetic-SNP links to ...

Acute Myeloid Leukemia in a Patient With Xeroderma Pigmentosum: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Acute myeloid leukemia may occur in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum at a younger age and can be associated with complex cytogenetics and poor treatment response, highlighting the importance of regular hematologic monitoring.

Megakaryocytic dysfunction in immune thrombocytopenia is linked to autophagy
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease characterized by both increased platelet destruction and/or reduced platelet production.

ABSTRACT Gaucher disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme “β‐glucocerebrosidase”, leading to the accumulation of glucocerebroside within macrophages. It commonly presents with hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, and bone marrow infiltration.

2-O, 3-O desulfated heparin mitigates murine chemotherapy- and radiation-induced thrombocytopenia
: Thrombocytopenia is a significant complication of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Platelet factor 4 (PF4; CXCL4) is a negative paracrine of megakaryopoiesis.

Platelets derive from megakaryocytes, which differentiate from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here, Qu et al show that platelet-derived microparticles carrying miR-1915-3p target HSPCs and promote megakaryopoiesis by suppressing RHOB ...
