Presence and activity of Fibrinogen like protein 2 in platelets.
BackgroundFibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) is a serine protease capable of converting prothrombin into thrombin (i.e., prothrombinase-like activity) while bypassing the classic coagulation cascade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Citrate is the recommended anticoagulant for studies on plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs). Because citrate incompletely blocks platelet activation and the release of platelet-derived EVs, we compared EDTA and citrate in that regard.

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.

Quantitative structural mechanobiology of platelet-driven blood clot contraction. [PDF]
Blood clot contraction plays an important role in prevention of bleeding and in thrombotic disorders. Here, we unveil and quantify the structural mechanisms of clot contraction at the level of single platelets.
