Platelets are abundant in blood, where they maintain the integrity of the vasculature. Megakaryocytes, the cells responsible for platelet genesis, produce membrane protrusions from which as many as ...

P values of ≤0.05 were considered significant. Because the number of platelet aggregates and megakaryocytes was right-skewed, we performed logarithmic transformation and analysed the IHC results on ...

A new UCSF study shows that the human lungs have just as many blood-producing stem cells as bone marrow. These stem cells are ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers at UCSF have found that the lungs, not just the bone marrow, play a crucial role ...

The platelets numbered 59,000 per cu. mm., and megakaryocytes without platelet formation were present in the bone-marrow aspirate in normal numbers. On June 9, the platelets again numbered 60,000 ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion ...

In addition, specific antibodies have an inhibitory effect on the production of platelets by megakaryocytes. CTLs also play an important role in the destruction of platelets. Platelets can express ...

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK, but it's also one of the most serious types of cancer. Here are some ...
