Altered thrombopoiesis in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]
Platelet hyperreactivity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease development and mortality in hypertensive patients. Although several studies have linked platelet hyperreactivity with increased bone marrow thrombopoiesis, extramedullary ...

Mutations affecting sialylation and galactosylation affect megakaryocyte function and thrombopoiesis. Here the authors show that the enzyme β4GalT1 regulates thrombopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis by controlling beta-1 integrin function.

Toll-like Receptors and Thrombopoiesis
Platelets are the second most abundant blood component after red blood cells and can participate in a variety of physiological and pathological functions. Beyond its traditional role in hemostasis and thrombosis, it also plays an indispensable role in inflammatory diseases. However, thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic problem in the clinic, and it

Piggyback knockdown screening of unique genes of zebrafish young thrombocytes identifies eight novel genes in thrombopoiesis [PDF]
Platelet production, or thrombopoiesis, is a critical process involving the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into megakaryocytes, which release platelets into circulation.

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.

α-Actinin-1 in Megakaryocytes: Its Structure, Interacting Proteins and Implications for Thrombopoiesis [PDF]
Mutations in the ACTN1 gene, which encodes the cytoskeletal protein α-actinin-1, have been implicated in the etiology of autosomal dominant congenital macrothrombocytopenia.

The Thrombopoietic Signature of Preeclampsia: Diagnostic and Monitoring Insights from the Immature Platelet Fraction [PDF]
Background: Preeclampsia is a major obstetric disorder characterized by platelet activation and dysregulated thrombopoiesis. While conventional platelet indices reflect platelet morphology, the immature platelet fraction (IPF) provides insight into ...

Thrombocytopenia in dengue infection: mechanisms and a potential application [PDF]
Thrombocytopenia is a common symptom and one of the warning signs of dengue virus (DENV) infection. Platelet depletion is critical as it may lead to other severe dengue symptoms.

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 ...

Enhanced thrombopoiesis supplies PD-L1 to circulating immune cells via the generation of PD-L1-expressing platelets in patients with lung cancer [PDF]
Background The increased expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on a subset of immune cells in the peripheral blood has been frequently observed in patients with cancer, suggesting a relationship with PD-L1 expression in tumor tissues.
