Megakaryocyte polyploidization: role in platelet production
22 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mammal megakaryocytes (MK) undergo polyploidization during their differentiation. This process leads to a marked increase in the MK size and of their cytoplasm. Contrary to division by classical mitosis, ploidization allows an economical manner to produce platelets as they arise from the fragmentation of the MK cytoplasm. The platelet production in vivo correlates to the entire MK cytoplasm mass that depends both...
