Fig. 8From: New horizon in platelet function: with special reference to a recently-found molecule, CLEC-2Hitherto, we have found that podoplain/CLEC-2 interaction induces megakaryocyte expansion. We then asked whether podoplain/CLEC-2 interaction acts on megakaryocytes to induce proplatelet formation, or on BM FCR-like cells which then contributes to proplatelet formation. Two hypotheses are depicted in Fig. 8 Back to article page
