Scientists at Uppsala University 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 ...

Study of the bleeding tendency in uremia in 26 subjects, 10 of whom were bleeding, showed platelet counts and plasma coagulation factors to be normal. There was a significant inverse correlation ...

Platelet-monocyte (PMA) and platelet-neutrophil aggregations (PNA) play critical roles in the evolution of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The present study investigates the mechanistic basis of platelet ...

Since the discovery of platelets approximately 160 years ago, extensive research has characterized how platelets function and clarified their role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and in a number of ...

Platelets are the key cell types in haemostasis after vascular injury and crucially contribute to thrombus formation. In addition to their aggregation and clot contraction functions after stimulation ...

Patients on prasugrel therapy have greater platelet inhibition than those taking maintenance doses of clopidogrel and thus require a longer time to return to baseline reactivity after stopping the ...

Using marijuana may lead to platelet dysfunction, according to a new study in nonhuman primates. Platelets, a component of blood, play a role in maintaining blood vessel (vascular) health and aid ...
