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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
