Breaking the Mold: Transcription Factors in the Anucleate Platelet and Platelet-Derived Microparticles
13 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Platelets are small anucleate blood cells derived from megakaryocytes. In addition to their pivotal roles in hemostasis, platelets are the smallest, yet most abundant, immune cells and regulate inflammation, immunity, and disease progression.
