Recent studies have explored niche cells in the bone marrow microenvironment to promote platelet formation and developed an explant-based bioreactor for enhanced ex vivo platelet production. Chemical inhibitors have been investigated for their role in promoting megakaryocyte maturation and expansion. Microparticles derived from megakaryocytes or platelets have been shown to improve megakaryocyte maturation and platelet formation. These advances in regulating megakaryocyte expansion and platelet production offer promising potential for generating platelets in vitro without the need for blood donation.
Purpose of review Platelet transfusion can be life-saving but carries a risk of infection or alloimmunization and is limited by insufficient donor sources and restricted unit shelf life. Generating sufficient platelets in vitro to replace a unit of collected blood remains a challenge. Here, we examine the latest advances in the regulation of megakaryocyte maturation and expansion along with platelet formation and survival. We also discuss alternative therapies investigated to induce platelet production. Recent findings Recent studies examined candidate niche cells in the bone marrow microenvironment for promoting platelet formation and developed an explant-based bioreactor to enhance platelet production ex vivo. Chemical inhibitors were examined for their ability to promote megakaryocyte maturation and expansion. Microparticles from megakaryocytes or platelets were found to improve megakaryocyte maturation and platelet formation. Membrane budding was identified as a novel mode of platelet formation. Lastly, a chemical inhibitor to improve cold-stored platelets was identified. Recent advances in the regulation of megakaryocyte expansion and platelet production provide exciting promise for the development of improved approaches to generate platelets in vitro. These findings bring the field one step closer to achieving the ultimate goal of creating a unit of platelets without the need for donation.
