Different approaches are being developed to efficiently produce in vitro platelets from cultured megakaryocytes to meet the constant demand of platelet transfusion and serve for research purposes. Recent works have shown that turbulence and periodic stress can significantly enhance platelet yield. Here we have developed and characterized a platelet production device that takes in account these properties.

Erythroleukemia, a complex myeloproliferative disorder presenting as acute or chronic, is characterized by aberrant proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. Although nootkatone, a sesquiterpene derived from grapefruit peel and Alaska yellow cedar, has shown anticancer activity predominantly in solid tumors, its effects in erythroleukemia remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nootkatone and its derivatives on erythroleukemia.

Ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) requires the maintenance of a stemness state while cells are proliferating. This can be achieved via exposure to UM171 which leads to the degradation of chromatin modifiers and prevents the loss of key epigenetic marks. However, the chromatin landscape varies across populations within the hematopoietic system and the effect of UM171 on self-renewal and differentiation potential of different hematopoietic progenitor cells is less characterized.

In our laboratory, we study thrombopoiesis and hemostasis using zebrafish as a model organism to unravel the mechanisms of differentiation and development of thrombocytes. We have shown in our earlier work that thrombocytes are functional equivalents of platelets and have transcriptional machinery similar to megakaryocytes. We recently found evidence that hox genes play a role in their development.

Background: The most typical cause of thrombocytopenia is immune-mediated thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Thrombocytopenia can cause insufficient clot formation and increase the risk of bleeding. Bone marrow aspiration is commonly used for this purpose.
