Description
The image shows an apoptotic megakaryocyte, a large cell in bone marrow responsible for the production of platelets. The disorder associated with this is known as idiopathic thrombocytopenia, a blood disorder resulting in a low number of platelets. This can result from the apoptosis of megakaryocytes, resulting in the underproduction of platelets; however, the mechanism behind this remains unknown.
