Platelets play an essential role in wound healing. Underproduction can cause devastating bleeding, while overproduction increases the deadly risk of thromboses. Maintaining a constant level of ...

Platelets are anucleate cells naturally filled with secretory granules that store large amounts of protein to be released in response to certain physiological conditions. Cell engineering can endow ...

Future Microbiol. 2013;8(11):1431-1451. Platelet GPIIIa, and even the same epitope within this surface protein, are also targets of autoantibodies, which are generated in HIV-infected patients.

This video explains how the heart, blood, and blood vessels work together to circulate oxygen, nutrients, and other vital ...

Together with researchers from University of Oxford, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that a subclass of stem cells that are dedicated to the production of platelets replenish ...

There is active crosstalk between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment during metastatic progression, a process that is significantly affected by obesity, particularly in breast cancer. Here we ...

When blood is donated, it is rarely used as whole blood. Instead, blood banks separate it into different components so that ...

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Scientists have for the first time created blood platelet cells by reprogramming stem cells derived from adult cells, offering the potential for a renewable supply of the fragile ...

Researchers have discovered a distinct, secondary population of platelets that appears with aging and have hyperreactive behavior and unique molecular properties, which could make them easier to ...
