While
megakaryocytes are best known for producing platelets that heal wounds, these «mega»
cells found
in bone marrow also play a critical role
in regulating stem
cells according to new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research.
In this tissue system, we can culture patient - derived megakaryocytes — the bone marrow cells that make platelets — and also endothelial cells, which are found in bone marrow and promote platelet production, to design patient - specific drug administration regimes.&raqu
