Blood transfusion medicine requires a constant supply of platelets, which is now totally donor dependent. Recent advances in the generation of platelets in vitro through megakaryocytes (MKs) may provide protocols not only via pluripotent stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), but also via induced MKs (iMKs). For the first time, mouse and human fibroblasts are successfully transdifferentiated into iMKs by the introduction of three factors, p45NF-E2, Maf G, and Maf K.
输血医学需要不断供应血小板,而目前完全依赖于供体。通过巨核细胞 (MKs) 在体外生成血小板的最新进展,不仅可以通过多能干细胞(包括诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)和胚胎干细胞(ESCs)),还可以通过诱导的 MKs (iMKs) 提供方案。首次通过引入三个因子 p45NF-E2、Maf G 和 Maf K,成功地将小鼠和人成纤维细胞转分化为 iMKs。
