HuR Inhibition in Platelets Attenuates Degenerative Aging in Mice

Platelets play a vital role in blood clotting. A population of hematopoietic cells known as megakaryocytes spawn platelets by pinching off parts of their membrane and cytosol, forming what are essentially mini-cells that lack some of the usual components, such as a nucleus, but retain many of the others, such as mitochondria.
