Check out this beautiful thread 🧵 and links to the study 📚
Awesome work on the life of megakaryocytes, very funny cells !
Lead by @wclairemasson.bsky.social !
It’s official! 🎉
Our latest paper on the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in megakaryopoiesis is out in @elife.bsky.social !

Blocking tubulin detyrosination via VASH1-SVBP inhibition enhances proplatelet formation & boosts platelet counts—no impact on function. A novel understanding of the megakaryocyte tubulin code beyond tubulin isotypes. #Platelet #HemeSky www.jthjournal.org/article/S153...

It was an honor and a pleasure to share our work on the impact of PACSIN2 on megakaryocyte and erythrocyte development yesterday afternoon at ISTH 2025! #ISTH2025

Awestruck by these cage-like structures that regulate escape of megakaryocytes from bone marrow into blood vessels.

Congratulations to authors of this study, which I see is now also available as a reviewed preprint at eLife: elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/104963v1

Thanks again for the PreLight!
I’m thrilled to see our work getting noticed and generating so much excitement!

The megakaryocyte: trapped in a cage of its own making 𐂺

In this #preprint, @wclairemasson.bsky.social & colleagues report the discovery of novel structures controlling megakaryocyte protrusion events.

Excellent #preLight from @simoncleary.bsky.social ⬇️ 👀

Wow, what a wonderful four months it has been! Thank you again to Dr. Eckly and her awesome electron microscopy team for hosting me in Strasbourg, FR. I am excited to bring back what I have learned, and I hope to return soon!

Interested in #ECM & #platelet biology ?
Check out our latest reviewed #preprint at @elife.bsky.social
A wonderful story lead by A.Eckly and @wclairemasson.bsky.social @inserm.fr where we had a minor contribution
Interesting to participate in the new @elife.bsky.social publishing scheme
