Targeting TLR2/Rac1/cdc42/JNK Pathway to Reveal That Ruxolitinib Promotes Thrombocytopoiesis

30 views | May 09 2023

Ruxolitinib has been shown to facilitate megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation, leading to accelerated thrombocytopoiesis in radiation-injured thrombocytopenia mice, possibly via activation of the Rac1/cdc42/JNK pathway through binding to Toll Like Receptor 2 (TLR2). [Read the Full Post]
