Modified application of Kawamoto’s film method for super‐resolution imaging of megakaryocytes in undecalcified bone marrow

Abstract Background Super‐resolution microscopy has enabled high‐resolution imaging of the actin cytoskeleton in megakaryocytes and platelets. These technologies have extended our knowledge of thrombopoiesis and platelet spreading using megakaryocytes and platelets cultured in vitro on matrix protei...
