Megakaryocytes (MKs), known for their role in platelet production, have emerged as critical players in immune responses, showcasing versatility in both physiological and pathological contexts. Recent ...

IN the course of a systematic search for tumor cells in the blood of patients with cancer of the female genital tract or of the head and neck areas, cells with the characteristics of megakaryocytes ...

Megakaryocytes are the parent cells that make platelets—sticky bodies that circulate in the bloodstream and help the blood to clot when you get cut. They are also the culprits that contribute to clot ...

BECAUSE of the frequency of lung and liver metastasis in the spread of certain malignant tumors it has long been accepted that malignant tumors may invade blood vessels, particularly veins, and create ...

Adipocytes can be converted into mesenchymal stem cells, which can then be converted into megakaryocytes. These megakaryocytes can be used to produce platelets, which may be a source of safer platelet ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Methods have been devised to harvest megakaryocytes from guinea pig femoral marrow and to isolate them in high yield. When marrow tissue was ...

Scientists at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have identified a way that chemotherapy causes platelet numbers to drop, answering in the process a decade-old question about the formation of ...

Turbulence is a critical physical factor that promotes the large-scale production of functional platelets from human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers reportl. Exposure to turbulent energy ...

Megakaryocytes (MKs), known for their role in platelet production, have emerged as critical players in immune responses, showcasing versatility in both physiological and pathological contexts. Recent ...

COVID-19 patients have been reporting to their doctors that they are feeling mentally foggy or distracted. New research reports that cells known as megakaryocytes, found in bone marrow, have been ...

Scientists found that megakaryocytes act as 'bouncers' and thus modulate bone marrow niche properties and cell migration dynamics. Hematopoiesis is the process of forming blood cells, which occurs ...

Hematopoiesis is the process of forming blood cells, which occurs predominantly in the bone marrow. The bone marrow produces all types of blood cells: red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells ...
