## Abstract An assay describing conditions for the maturation of single immature megakaryocytes in vitro is reported. Enriched populations of small, relatively immature megakaryocytes have been found to develop into single, mature megakaryocytes by 60 hours in semisolid agar cultures. Continued inc
The growth-promoting activities of optimally stimulating concentrations of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin-I 1 (IL-1 I ) , a stromal cell-derived cytokine, on megakaryocytes in liquid marrow cultures were compared to interleukin-6 (IL-6), a known megakaryocytic maturation factor. Ma
## Abstract Recent data suggest that megakaryocytes (MKs) play a role in skeletal homeostasis. In vitro and in vivo data show that MKs stimulate osteoblast (OB) proliferation and inhibit osteoclast (OC) formation, thus favoring net bone deposition. There are several mouse models with dysregulated m
