Thrombopoiesis and Thrombopoietins: Molecular, Cellular, Preclinical, and Clinical Biology

David Kuter and a host of leading international researchers summarize in one volume all the knowledge of thrombopoietins (TPO) available tod ay. The distinguished experts review the history of the search to disc over TPO, describe the molecular and biological characteristics of thi s new molecule, and present the results of the preclinical animal expe riments that will guide clinical use of this new hormone. Along the wa y they provide the most recent and comprehensive guide to the biology of megakaryocytes and platelets.
