Although platelets and the coagulation factors are components of the blood system, they become part of and contribute to the tumor microenvironment (TME) not only within a solid tumor mass, but also within a hematogenous micrometastasis on its way ...

An in vitro study of the adhesion of blood platelets onto vascular catheters. Part I [PDF]
The adhesion of human blood platelets onto vascular catheters was studied using a specially designed perfusion chamber. Polyurethane catheters were exposed to citrated human blood for different periods (up to 20 min) and at different wall shear rates ...

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]
Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

Perbedaan Hitung Jumlah Trombosit Menggunakan Darah Vena dan Darah Kapiler
Background: Platelets play a role in hemostasis which is the body's mechanisms to prevent and stop the bleeding. Platelets participate in the effort to close the wound, so that the body does not experience a loss of blood and protected from foreign cells.

Assessment of neonatal, cord, and adult platelet granule trafficking and secretion
Despite the transient hyporeactivity of neonatal platelets, full-term neonates do not display a bleeding tendency, suggesting potential compensatory mechanisms which allow for balanced and efficient neonatal hemostasis.

Platelet kinetics in the pulmonary microcirculation in vivo assessed by intravital microscopy [PDF]
Growing evidence supports the substantial pathophysiological impact of platelets on the development of acute lung injury. Methods for studying these cellular mechanisms in vivo are not present yet.

Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]
Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

A comparison of haematopoietic stem cells from umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood for platelet production in a microfluidic device [PDF]
Background and objectives: Several sources of haematopoietic stem cells have been used for static culture of megakaryocytes to produce platelets in vitro.
