    Plasmacytoid dendritic cells control homeostasis of megakaryopoiesis

    Platelet homeostasis is essential for vascular integrity and immune defence1,2. Although the process of platelet formation by fragmenting megakaryocytes (MKs; thrombopoiesis) has been extensively studied, the cel...

    Comparison of the risk of hospital admission, need for ventilation, sepsis, pneumonitis and death among the recent monkeypox outbreak and historical outbreaks

    The course of monkeypox can be severe. Our aim was to retrospectively compare the risk of hospital admission, the need for ventilation, sepsis, pneumonitis and death between the recent outbreak and historical ...

    Vascular surveillance by haptotactic blood platelets in inflammation and infection

    Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases. Anucleate platelets form blood-clots during thrombosis, but also play a crucial role in inflammation. While spatio-temporal dyna...

    Cellular locomotion using environmental topography

    Eukaryotic cells migrate by coupling the intracellular force of the actin cytoskeleton to the environment. While force coupling is usually mediated by transmembrane adhesion receptors, especially those of the ...

    Patrolling the vascular borders: platelets in immunity to infection and cancer

    Platelets are small anucleate cellular fragments that are released by megakaryocytes and safeguard vascular integrity through a process termed ‘haemostasis’. However, platelets have important roles beyond haem...

    Chemokines and integrins independently tune actin flow and substrate friction during intranodal migration of T cells

    Although much is known about the physiological framework of T cell motility, and numerous rate-limiting molecules have been identified through loss-of-function approaches, an integrated functional concept of T...
