Role of the polycomb group gene BMI1 in normal and leukemic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:In response to agonists produced at vascular lesions, platelets release a host of components from their three granules: dense core, alpha, and lysosome. This releasate activates other platelets, promotes wound repair, and initiates inflammatory responses. Although widely accepted, the specific mechani...
