After the initial adhesion of platelets to the extracellular matrix, the repair process requires a rapid response to autocrine and paracrine mediators, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP ...

This review concerns functional contacts between platelets and endothelial cells, with emphasis on the maintenance of vascular integrity by proangiogenic cytokines and growth factors released by pl ...

Platelet adhesion Membrane receptors that function irrespective of cellular activation typically mediate the initial tethering of platelets to the wounded vessel wall.

Binge consumption of alcohol both increased platelet aggregation and inhibited platelet adhesion to fibrinogen-coated surface under flow. In contrast, binge consumption of red wine did not ...

Interface Biologics Inc. achieves reductions in platelet adhesion similar to heparin coated devices with use of non drug surface ...

Here, its use allowed platelet phenotypes to be clarified with regard to activation marker, a transmembrane protein, and adhesion protein expression.

Activation of platelets is triggered by direct adhesion of the parasites to platelet receptors, in addition to other stimuli, such as increased levels of CRP.

Platelets prevent bleeding and help wounds heal. Both high and low levels may indicate cancer, anemia, and autoimmune disorders. Learn more about these levels here.

Platelets in Cardiovascular Disorders During the past decade, extensive research has focused on the role of platelets in cardiovascular disorders, and antiplatelet drugs have become the mainstay ...

Researchers explore the role of a high-fat diet in promoting the formation of premetastatic niches and platelet activation.

Platelets, the tiny cell fragments whose job it is to stop bleeding, are very simple. They don't have a cell nucleus. But they can "feel" the physical environment around them, researchers at Emory ...
