Involvement of TGFβ1 in autocrine regulation of proplatelet formation in healthy subjects and patients with primary myelofibrosis

Megakaryocytes release platelets into the bloodstream by elongating proplatelets. In this study, we showed that human megakaryocytes constitutively release Transforming Growth Factor β1 and express its receptors. Importantly, Transforming Growth Factor β1 downstream signaling, through SMAD2/3 phosph...
