Using matched WBC and platelet RNA-seq from MPN patients, we identify myelofibrosis-associated transcriptomic signatures specifically enriched in platelets. Multinomial LASSO modeling highlights platelet-derived gene expression as a dominant and predictive biomarker of myelofibrosis, outperforming clinical parameters and WBC signatures.

Happy to share a preprint here (bit.ly/4c6yECo) - years in the making that asks a deceptively simple question: when it comes to reading #MPN disease from peripheral blood, do #platelets or white blood cells tell us more?

Details:

Thanks for your read!

A selfie picture of a person with an oval face, long brown hair, glasses, and a beard. The person is holding in their raised right arm a wireless access point, a Power over Ethernet injector, and a large circular magnet with a red cross in the middle and text string the edge that reads “Platelet Donor American Red Cross”.

My Wi-Fi will soon be blood-powered.

Two years ago, I restarted donating #platelets. And I had the crazy idea to more literally put my #blood, sweat and tears into my home lab.

So, in honor of 50 donations, I’m upgrading!

Platelet donors are urgently needed before this weekend's storm! Platelets have a shelf life of only 5–7 days. That means our supply needs constant replenishment, and we rely on dedicated donors to keep it strong. #platelets #plateletdonor

I made 12 #platelets donations in 2025 and each session helps up to 3 patients. Of those 36 units: 13 stayed in MA, with 8 in #Boston split among BIDMC, Tufts, MGH, and Brigham; the rest throughout ME, NH, and other hospitals in Eastern MA.

Please consider giving if you can.

I made my 12th and final #platelets donation of 2025 today. If you can't donate money, donate #blood; if you can't donate blood, donate time. I am blessed and lucky enough to be able to do all three.
