Thrombopoietin and Cytokine Regulation of Platelet Production

The Keystone Symposium, Molecular Regulation of Platelet Production, assessed the current findings in molecular biology, cytology, physiology, and clinical approaches to study megakaryocyte biology and platelet production. Includes sections on Megakaryocyte and Platelet Structure in Thrombocytopoiesis; The Regulated Expression of a TATA-Less, Platelet-Specific Gene; Biological Roles for the Second Domain of Thrombopoietin; Studies of the c-Mpl Thrombopoietin Receptor Through Gene Disruption and Activation; and In Vivo Biological Effects of Various Forms of Thrombopoietin in a Murine Model of Transient Pancytopenia. 303 pp. Table of Contents
