1. Programming Blood Cell Fates. Insights from Direct Lineage Conversion and Development
Abstract : Red blood cells (RBC) and platelets constitute the non-immune branch of the hematopoietic system and are responsible for the vital functions of transporting oxygen to the tissues and clotting blood vessel injuries, respectively. These cells are produced during embryonic development and throughout life through a process called hematopoiesis which is tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. READ MORE

2. Neonatal thrombocytopenia : from bleeding risk to new therapies on the horizon
Abstract : Background: Thrombocytopenia is common in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and if severe, it is treated with platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding. Previous studies found a weak correlation between thrombocytopenia and incidence of bleeding. READ MORE

3. Mesenchymal niche contribution to normal and malignant hematopoiesis
Abstract : Normal hematopoiesis is tightly regulated by hematopoietic microenvironment/niche in bone marrow (BM) via direct hematopoietic cell-niche cell interaction and factors secreted by various types of cellular niches. The BM niche consists of cells of mesenchymal cell origin including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and progenitor cells (MPCs). READ MORE
