Megakaryocytes (MKs) follow a unique cell cycle duplication process, called endomitosis, resulting in polyploidisation of cells. It is hypothesised that polyploidy, as well as an increment in cytoplasm volume, allow more efficient platelets generation from MKs. Although polyploidy leads to an increase in the DNA amount, which impacts gene expression, little is known about ribosomal biogenesis in these polylobulated polyploid cells. The nucleolus acts as a hub for ribosomal biogenesis, which in turn governs the protein synthesis rate o
