In this issue, Thon et al. (2010. J. Cell Biol. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201006102) demonstrate that newly released platelets exhibit bipolar behavior, shifting back and forth between round cells and multibodied proplatelets (Thon et al., 2010). The authors define this intermediate as a preplatelet and, in doing so, shed new insight into the terminal steps of platelet maturation.
在本期中，Thon 等人（2010. J. Cell Biol. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201006102）证明新释放的血小板表现出双极行为，在圆形细胞和多体伸片之间来回转换（Thon 等人，2010）。作者将这个中间阶段定义为前血小板，从而为血小板成熟的最后阶段提供了新的见解。
