Platelets are small anucleated blood cells responsible for stopping bleeding. They detect blood vessel damage and agglutinate, creating aggregates and stopping blood loss. This process is called ...

Platelets, traditionally recognised for their role in haemostasis, have emerged as active participants in the aetiology and progression of neurodegenerative disorders through mechanisms that bridge ...

Future Microbiol. 2013;8(11):1431-1451. Bacterial contact with the platelets is a key event for the pathogenesis of sepsis, as deduced from the correlation between sepsis outcome and decreased ...

A Guadeloupe study found increased platelet activation and caspase-1 activity in adults with sickle cell disease at steady state, with hemolysis-linked associations concentrated among patients with ...

IF enhances the production of IPA from intestinal Clostridium sporogenes, which directly attenuates platelet activation and thrombosis, and alleviates microvascular thrombosis after I/R injury by ...

Study finds that a high-fat diet boosts platelet activation and tumor cell homing—effects reversible with diet change or platelet depletion. Study: The Impact of a High -Fat Diet and Platelet ...

An elderly man underwent hip fracture surgery with pre-/postoperative heparin anticoagulation; the platelet count fell to ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only a key molecule in blood clotting, ...

The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has baffled researchers with its propensity to cause symptoms of ...
