Integrin tensions are important force signals mediating platelet adhesion and contraction, and may also participate in platelet activation in response to substrate stiffness, a process referred as ...

Background Platelet aggregation is a critical multistep process pivotal in both hemostasis and thrombosis. This complex sequence begins with platelet adhesion to damaged vessel walls, followed by ...

In the present study, platelet adhesion under high shear stress conditions (typically occurring at the site of severely stenotic or disrupted plaques) was significantly reduced two hours after dark ...

Platelets are an essential component of the blood that helps with clotting. Learn how to increase platelet count naturally with foods, vitamins, and supplements.

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...

Cell adhesion is the process by which cells form contacts with each other or with their substratum through specialized protein complexes. Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens ...

Blood Platelets These minute disks of protoplasm circulate in the bloodstream along with red and white cells. When a blood vessel is broken, platelets plug the break.

A scientific team from the University of Liège has just developed an innovative polymer, PHOx, which could significantly ...

Stopping the bleed when platelets don’t stick Defects in platelet adhesion at sites of injury can lead to excessive bleeding.

Treatment Treatments for uremic bleeding target the various factors that seem to have a role in platelet dysfunction. Interventions can exert acute (within 6 h) or delayed (within several weeks ...

Measurement of the degree of functionalization; systematic optimization of the MA concentration and electrospinning parameters; additional data, including ATR-FTIR spectrum of GelMA (before and after ...

Scientists have developed a new polymer, PHOx, which could significantly improve the safety of implantable medical devices ...
