Scientists have discovered a hitherto unknown function of blood platelets in cancer. In mouse models, these platelets have proved to help preserve the vascular barrier which makes blood-vessel walls ...
Randomized trials of platelet function and genetic testing to guide antiplatelet decisions following PCI have produced notoriously mixed results: now, an updated consensus document aims to fill some ...
The document follows two earlier consensus documents, released in 2013 and 2016. Dominick Angiolillo, MD, PhD (University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville), senior author of the paper, ...
Intravital microscopy image from the liver of a mouse model: a platelet (turquoise) adheres to the inflamed vessel wall (yellow dashed outline) and sheds a long, filamentous membrane extension—a ...
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic that emerged in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019 spread rapidly throughout the world and has caused over 6.5 million deaths. The disease is caused by ...
A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology with a study published in Science. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only ...
