Our results reveal NR and NMN as potential boosters of hematopoiesis [production of blood cells in the marrow]...Given the efficient enhancement of megakaryopoiesis, NR supplementation could also prove beneficial for the treatment of refractory autoimmune idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or other auto-immune bone marrow failure syndromes [megakaryopoiesis is the process by which bone marrow progenitor cells develop into mature megakaryocytes (MKs), which in turn produce platelets required for normal hemostasis.]
