Blood platelets: Circulating mirrors of neurons? [PDF]
Blood platelets and resident neurons are fundamentally different cells, with peculiar features in embryological origin, function, and localization. However, they share common characteristics in subcellular organization and in protein composition.1 One of

Blood Platelets as an Important but Underrated Circulating Source of TGFβ. [PDF]
When treating diseases related primarily to tissue remodeling and fibrosis, it is desirable to regulate TGFβ concentration and modulate its biological effects. The highest cellular concentrations of TGFβ are found in platelets, with about 40% of all TGFβ

Relationship between the Increased Haemostatic Properties of Blood Platelets and Oxidative Stress Level in Multiple Sclerosis Patients with the Secondary Progressive Stage [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with complex pathogenesis, different clinical courses and recurrent neurological relapses and/or progression. Despite various scientific papers that focused on early stage of

Pro-Thrombotic Activity of Blood Platelets in Multiple Sclerosis. [PDF]
The available data, including experimental studies, clearly indicate an excessive intravascular activation of circulating platelets in multiple sclerosis (MS) and their hyper-responsiveness to a variety of physiological activators. Platelet activation is

THE HISTOGENESIS OF BLOOD PLATELETS [PDF]
1. Under normal circumstances blood platelets are largely derived from the megakaryocyte of the blood-forming organs. 2. The transitional leucocyte, representing a persistent form of the embryonic premegakaryocyte, is a circulating homologue of the megakaryocyte and probably plays some part in normal platelet formation. 3.

THE BLOOD PLATELETS IN HEMOPHILIA [PDF]
Hemophilia on account of its striking nature was early recognized as a clinical entity, and has been the subject of many observations. Many theories as to its causation have been advanced. With the development of methods for the study of the blood it has been possible to discard most of the theories concerning this interesting disease.

Blood platelets and sepsis pathophysiology: A new therapeutic prospect in critically [corrected] ill patients? [PDF]
Beyond haemostasis, platelets have emerged as versatile effectors of the immune response. The contribution of platelets in inflammation, tissue integrity and defence against infections has considerably widened the spectrum of their role in health and ...

THE RATE OF REGENERATION OF BLOOD PLATELETS [PDF]
By repeatedly withdrawing, defibrinating, and reinjecting blood, the platelet count in dogs can be reduced to an extremely low level. When the reduction in platelets and fibrinogen has been carried to an extreme degree the animals display a marked tendency to bleed.
