... A study reported abnormalities in arachidonic acid metabolism [20], which is consistent with our results that showed decreased aggregation in MPN platelets after activation with arachidonic acid. Recently, a study also revealed platelet dysfunction in JAK2 V617F transgenic mice [22]. ...

... 4 In our recent work, we have focused on cell surface area, perimeter, circularity (FormFactor), pseudopodia (endpoint) number, and total pseudopodia length. 1 Examples of the processing steps from which these outputs are measured are seen in Figure 2. Cell morphology characteristics have been shown to change under various conditions, such as chronic stress. 1 Protocols similar to this have also been used in other biological contexts and cell types, demonstrating the broad applicability of quantifying cell morphology. 8,9 Cell morphology phenotypes can be indicative of organism characteristics; for example, differences in cell morphology have been associated with donor age more closely than other established biomolecular measurements such as DNA damage response or adenosine triphosphate content. 10 ...

... We see the discovery of fungal extracellular vesicles as a direct consequence of the unique views of Professor Travassos, who foresaw the possibility that fungal lipids could be transitory cell wall components participating in exportation events in fungal cells. Fungal EVs are now candidates for vaccine development [21][22][23][24], which connects a fundamental discovery with a clearly translational potential. ...
