Abstract excerpt
Aberrant megakaryopoiesis is a hallmark of the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), a group of clonal hematological malignancies originating from hematopoietic stem cells, leading to an increase in mature blood cells in the peripheral blood. Sialylated derivatives of the glycan structure β4-N-acetyllactosamine (Galβ1,4GlcNAc or type-2 LacNAc, hereafter referred to as LacNAc) regulate platelet life span, hepatic...
