| Use of lymphotoxin and thrombopoietin in the preparation of a medicament for enhancing stimulation of megakaryocyte maturation or thrombocyte production in a mammal. |
| To the best of our knowledge this is a novel finding, which may lead to further insight in how megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production change with age. |
| Megakaryocyte capacitances were in the range of 64-694 pF, equivalent to 500-5500 platelets. |
| The drug, megakaryocyte growth development factor or MGDF, was being tested in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. |
| Bone marrow biopsy and other hematologic tests were consistent with agranulocytosis and marked erythroid hypoplasia of the megakaryocyte type. |
| Effects of polyethylene glycol-conjugated recombinant human megakaryocyte growth and development factor on platelet counts after chemotherapy for lung cancer. |
