The possibility of targeting activated platelets as a strategy to prevent cognitive impairment is raised by results of a new imaging study, the authors suggest. The study, a substudy of the Kronos ...

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 ...

A novel technique to test platelet function within a person's blood sample is faster, easier and more precise than methods currently in use, an experimental study shows. Nature Biomedical Engineering ...

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, ...

Retrospective single-center review of 80 HFrEF patients added SGLT2 inhibitors on stable guideline-directed therapy, with exclusions minimizing confounding from comorbid hematologic, renal, infectious ...

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 ...

Here we describe a female patient who presented with pulmonary embolism and deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in 2007 at 22 years of age and was treated for 6 months with phenprocoumon (vitamin K antagonist) ...

Background Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) are emerging therapies for SLE, but concerns regarding thromboembolic risk persist ...

When donated blood is in low supply, platelets are even scarcer. These cell fragments, which are essential for blood clotting, have a short shelf life. Whereas whole blood can be refrigerated for up ...
