Researchers have identified serine threonine kinase 10 as a key regulator of platelet function, haemostasis and ...

When cancer cells and platelets mix, the risk of metastasis and cancer-related deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) increases, but a small, proof-of-concept study suggests that the ...

The 5' nucleotidase protein apyrase is found in the saliva of all blood feeding arthropods (and an analogue in Vampire bats and leeches). Apyrases are enzymes that degrade ATP and ADP to AMP and ...

A small study testing the pharmacodynamic effects of several antiplatelet agents suggests that tirofiban (Aggrastat; Medicure), a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, may provide “more potent and ...

In a recent study published in the IUBMB journal, researchers assessed the association between platelet-activating factor (PAF) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike ...

A major factor in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mortality is the development of coagulation abnormalities that may result in thromboembolism. Human platelets have been found by ...

A new study created a score to identify patients with platelet hyperreactivity and risk of related, future cardiovascular disease. Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form ...

AGGREGATION of platelets in the presence of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) appears to be important in hæmostasis and in the genesis of platelet thrombosis. There is evidence that this reaction is common ...

Diminished platelet autophagy potentially contributes to thrombocytopenia in cirrhotic patients. H 2 S modulates platelet autophagy and functions possibly via the PDGFR-α/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling ...

Abstract and Introduction Review of Normal Platelet Physiology and Megakaryocytopoisis Qualitative Platelet Abnormalities Conclusion References Nitric oxide (NO) is another drug used in the neonatal ...
