Abstract excerpt
The recently defined ligand for the Mpl receptor, thrombopoietin (TPO), has been found to be the principal regulatory cytokine of megakaryocytopoiesis. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized that direct interaction between stroma or stroma-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) and human progenitor cells (HPC) may modulate megakaryocytopoiesis. For that purpose, we studied megakaryocytic development of HPC, obtained...
