Journal ArticleDOI
Platelets generated in vitro from proplatelet-displaying human megakaryocytes are functional
TL;DR: This is the first description of an in vitro culture system that sequentially demonstrates megakaryocyte growth, development, and platelet production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pegylated Megakaryocyte Growth and Development Factor Abrogates the Lethal Thrombocytopenia Associated With Carboplatin and Irradiation in Mice
Martha M. Hokom,David L. Lacey,Olaf B Kinstler,Esther S. Choi,Steve Kaufman,Judy Faust,Christopher G. Rowan,Erik Dwyer,Janet L. Nichol,Timothy Grasel,John Wilson,Randy Steinbrink,Randy Ira Hecht,Dwight Winters,Thomas C. Boone,Pamela Hunt +15 more
TL;DR: The concept that PEG-rMGDF may be useful to treat iatrogenic thrombocytopenias is supported, as the daily administration of pegylated recombinant human MGDF significantly reduced mortality and ameliorated the depth and duration of thromBocy topenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoclast markers accumulate on cells developing from human peripheral blood mononuclear precursors.
Judy Faust,Dave Lacey,Pamela Hunt,Teresa L. Burgess,Sheila Scully,Gwyneth Van,Alana Eli,Yi-xin Qian,Victoria Shalhoub +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported that cells expressing osteoclast markers differentiate from precursors present in nonmobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), without the addition of stromal cells, growth factors, cytokines or steroids; and characterize their phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoblast precursor cells are found in CD34+ cells from human bone marrow.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that osteoblast progenitor cells are enriched in the CD34+ cell population from BM and that these progenitors cells can differentiate into functional osteoblasts in culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of megakaryocyte growth and development factor in terminal stages of thrombopoiesis.
Esther S. Choi,Martha M. Hokom,Jen‐Li Chen,James D. Skrine,Judy Faust,Janet L. Nichol,Pamela Hunt +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that although TPO and MGDF promote the full spectrum of megakaryocyte growth and development, they are not necessary for proplatelet formation, and may in part regulate platelet shedding by their absence.
