Season 1, Episode 41

In this week’s episode, we will learn about two molecular brakes that regulate platelet activation and production, review a study showing that giving BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for Philadelphia-positive ALL prevents relapse, and lastly, see how investigators deciphered the role of a micro-RNA that increases platelet formation by reducing the expression of the actin-bundling protein, L-plastin, in megakaryocytes.
