Platelets. 2019;30(1):7-8. doi: 10.1080/09537104.2018.1560938. Epub 2019 Jan 20.

Abstract

Review series that provides a state-of-the-art overview of the role of small GTPases in megakaryocyte and platelet biology. While the focus of the reviews is on recent advances in the area of basic science, the clinical relevance of alterations in small GTPase signaling for platelet count and function is also discussed.

Keywords: Platelets; megakaryocytes; small GTPases.
