Abstract
Platelets are specialized cells, which are functioned to prevent bleeding and minimize blood vessel injury, and are also the predominating factor in the processes of hemostasis and thrombosis, while implicate in other processes including inflammation, innate immunity, angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. Among current mechanisms of platelet formation, platelets are produced by megakaryocytes, which are themselves generated by a process of controlled differentiation and maturation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and progenitor cells. Megakaryocytes release platelets by extending long, branching proplatelets, into sinusoidal blood vessels. Bone marrow cavity and extracellular matrix composition together with cytokines as thrombopoietin (TPO) are key regulators of megakaryopoiesis by supporting cell differentiation and platelet formation. Understanding the mechanisms of megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet formation can provide a solid theoretical basis for the treatment of platelet-related diseases. This review summarizes the current scientific research progress in the mechanisms of megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis.

期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Transfusion and Hematology was founded in September 1978. It is a comprehensive academic journal in the field of transfusion and hematology, supervised by the National Health Commission and co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University, and the Institute of Transfusion Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The journal is a comprehensive academic journal that combines the basic and clinical aspects of transfusion and hematology and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. The International Journal of Transfusion and Hematology mainly reports on the basic and clinical scientific research results and progress in the field of transfusion and hematology, new experiences, new methods, and new technologies in clinical diagnosis and treatment, introduces domestic and foreign research trends, conducts academic exchanges, and promotes the development of basic and clinical research in the field of transfusion and hematology.
