When a vascular injury occurs, platelets in young mice form much smaller blood clots (left) than platelets in old mice (right), where the clot almost blocks the blood vessel. Fluorescence microscopy ...
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, ...
CHAPEL HILL -- New research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that a fatty molecule on the surface of platelet cells is a regulator of blood coagulation. Besides its role in ...
BACKGROUND: Despite antiplatelet therapy, some patients remain at high ischemic risk because of drug nonresponsiveness or high residual platelet reactivity). We aimed to target an orphan platelet GPCR ...
SAN DIEGO, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Scientists have for the first time created blood platelet cells by reprogramming stem cells derived from adult cells, offering the potential for a renewable supply of the ...
Future Microbiol. 2013;8(11):1431-1451. Platelet GPIIIa, and even the same epitope within this surface protein, are also targets of autoantibodies, which are generated in HIV-infected patients.
Researchers have discovered a distinct, secondary population of platelets that appears with aging and have hyperreactive behavior and unique molecular properties, which could make them easier to ...
