Dr. Krause's Leukemia Research
Yuan Gao, Diane Krause and colleagues discover a link to leukemia by revealing how megakaryocytes get so big.
A March 2012 paper by Yale School of Medicine authors in the journal Developmental Cell elucidates several of the mechanisms that take place to prevent cytokinesis from occurring. These findings are relevant not only to normal hematopoiesis and the maturation process of normal megakaryocytes but also to leukemia. In megakaryoblastic leukemia, for example, cells don't fully mature. The authors are now investigating the link between normal megakaryocytopoiesis and the pathology in megakaryocytic leukemia.
