It has been a week of great science and fantastic people Gordon Research Conferences on #Megakaryocytes & #Platelets So great to meet all the friends of this amazing community back in person. Thanks to @ale_baldu and Liz Gardiner for organizing this!!!

Congratulations to the soccer team of the Gordon Research Conferences on #Megakaryocytes & #Platelets for the great match. When you share joy and fun everyone wins!!!!

Great honor to give a talk Gordon Research Conferences on #Megakaryocytes & #Platelets Thank you @ale_baldu & Liz Gardiner for organizing a week of amazing sience and to all speakers and attendants for sharing fantastic results...we learned a lot!!!

Unraveling the hormonal pathway to megakaryocyte well-being: glucocorticoids drive #platelet production by stimulating proplatelet formation. Matias Grodzielski shorturl.at/cgG45 Commentary by Alessandra Balduini LAB Christian Di Buduo doi.org/10.1016/j.jtha…

The #ISTH2023 abstracts are now published in RPTH! View them here and share: rpthjournal.org/issue/S2475-03…

Any post-doc candidate at ASH who is looking for an experience in Italy Università di Pavia or Boston Tufts University to explore ex vivo platelet production either in academia or in a biotec startup please reach out to @ale_baldu #ASH2023 alessandrabalduini.com silkplatelet.eu

📣NOT TO BE MISSED. Today join us ASH. 506 BM microenvironment session Eman Khatib-Massalha will present outstanding results about the role of neutrophils in myeloproliferative neoplasms with contribution of @ale_baldu silk bone marrow model for validation in humans. #ASH23

Today Molly Brakhane from Stephen Oh lab will present our collaborative project on the role of STIM1 in pathological megakaryopoiesis. Another step towards understanding the role of calcium in platelet production 📣NOT TO BE MISSED!!!! ASH #ASH23

Planning #ASH24: joint meeting of the ASH Scientific Committees on Thrombosis & Vascular Biology and Megakaryocytes & Platelets. #ASH23

Congratulations to Tufts University School of Engineering Professor David Kaplan, a leader in cellular agriculture and biomedical engineering with more than 150 patents, who has been named a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. brnw.ch/21wFfiO

Happy holiday from Alessandra Balduini LAB! We wish you and your loved ones a #MerryChristmas and Fantastic #NewYear. Looking ahead to new adventures in 2024... if you can dream it, you can do it...LET IT SILK...🎄🎅🔬🎁

What a fantastic way to start the new year... 📣check out our new pubblication in AmericanJournalofHematology: increased PIEZO1 expression in megakaryocytes from primary myelofibrosis is associated with impaired maturation and platelet production. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

HSPCs lie proximal to the bone, vasculature, and megakaryocytes in young BM but further from megakaryocytes in old BM. loom.ly/nD_aH4U #hematopoiesisandstemcells

Blood would like to thank all the authors who submitted images to our cover art contest. The winner of our 8th annual cover image contest is issue 141-4, by Dr. José Maria Bastida and his team for their beautiful image. #BloodJournal #Blood #CoverArtContest

📣 We are excited to announce that our new article on the use of silk-based bioink for bioprinting 3D models of hematopoiesis  has been published on Advanced Science... A new step toward 3D cell culture innovation 📣 ...and stay tuned, more is coming...

This achievement has been possible thanks to the financial support of the European Commission and the common synergy of our entire research team!!!! Thank you for the exceptional efforts and dedication!!!

Replay! Podcast episode: "Unraveling the Secrets of Thrombopoiesis" with Dr F Vinchi and Prof A Balduini,  bit.ly/3vjlUqQ & all major podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, etc.) Tune in for casual and insightful discussions on hematology research.

We could not be more excited to share our new publication, identifying PF4/Cxcl4 as a critical driver of myelofibrosis. A great team work of researchers and clinicians. Thank you for the exceptional efforts and dedication!!! nature.com/articles/s4137…
