The physical and cellular conditions of the human pulmonary circulation, enable thrombopoesis#

Thrombopoiesis is the biological process dedicated to the production of functional platelets by their precursors, megakaryocytes (MKs). During their maturation in the bone marrow (BM), MKs migrate to the vascular niche [2] but the final maturation step which involves the process of platelet release is not fully documented in human physiology [1]
