There is a current under-appreciated recognition of alterations in platelets and red blood cells in patients with autoimmune diseases that may contribute to disease pathogenesis. This session will focus on understanding how inflammation affects the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) toward cell lineages (red blood cells, platelets, myeloid, and lymphoid) that may drive autoimmunity. This session will also introduce the paradigm of cellular control within the bone marrow niche at the level of erythroblastic islands that may contribute to autoimmune disease pathogenesis.
