A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the ...

Platelets are small, anucleate blood cells that play an essential role in hemostasis. Their primary task is to recognize vascular injury, become activated, and aggregate via their surface receptor ...

Without platelets, we would die pretty easily. The microscopic plate-shaped structures in our bloodstream rush to the site of an injury, forming clots that stop blood loss and help stimulate the ...

(SALT LAKE CITY)—A University of Utah School of Medicine-led study has identified a previously unknown but crucial component in the process to make platelets, a discovery that could help spare ...

A team from the Würzburg Institute of Experimental Biomedicine I and the Rudolf Virchow Center (RVZ) has fundamentally changed our understanding of ...

(SALT LAKE CITY)—Citing his groundbreaking contributions to understanding the evolving role of platelets, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) has awarded University of Utah professor of medicine ...

Results: During cycles 1 and 2 of treatment with CG+SU5416, a significant cycle-dependent activation of both the coagulation cascade and endothelial cells occurred, whereas platelet counts decreased.

Platelets are probably best known for their role in blood clotting, making scabs and related, if less salubrious, contributions to heart attacks and strokes. But these tiny, saucer-shaped blood cells ...

Platelets play a key, and until now unsuspected, role in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, an international ...

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 ...
