Funded Activity Summary

A major challenge to regenerative medicine is discovering how to produce useful cell types in the laboratory. Particularly urgent is the need to generate large numbers of platelets, the building blocks of the clotting system, for clinical use. Current laboratory methods are woefully inefficient, thus cannot meet demand. This project aims to discover how platelets are made in nature. With this information we will be able to devise better platelet production strategies in the laboratory.
