Lung megakaryocytes display distinct transcriptional and phenotypic properties.

Abstract excerpt

Megakaryocytes (MKs) are responsible for platelet biogenesis, which is believed to occur canonically in adult bone marrow (BM) and in the fetal liver during development. However, emerging evidence highlights the lung as a previously underappreciated residence for MKs that may contribute significantly to circulating platelet mass. Although a diversity of cells specific to the BM is known to promote the maturation...
