A Perspective of Coagulation Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis and in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
, 2018 A key role of both coagulation and vascular thrombosis has been reported since the first descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS). Subsequently, the observation of a close concordance between perivascular fibrin(ogen) deposition and the occurrence of ...

Protocol for Murine/Mouse Platelets Isolation and Their Reintroduction in vivo
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Platelets and coagulation have long been known to be essential for metastasis in experimental models. In order to study the interactions between tumor cells, platelets and endothelium, we have adapted methods used in coagulation research for the ...

Nucleosomes and neutrophil extracellular traps in septic and burn patients [PDF]
, 2017 NETosis is a host defense mechanism associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Experimental models show that platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key elements for intravascular NETosis. We determined NETosis in septic and burn patients at 1

Leukocyte- and platelet-derived microvesicle interactions following in vitro and in vivo activation of toll-like receptor 4 by lipopolysaccharide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Pro-coagulant membrane microvesicles (MV) derived from platelets and leukocytes are shed into the circulation following receptor-mediated activation, cell-cell interaction, and apoptosis. Platelets are sentinel markers of toll-like receptor 4

Therapeutic use of red blood cells and platelets derived from human cord blood stem cells
Stem Cells Translational Medicine, 2021 Red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets derived from stem cells are possible solutions to the increasing demand for blood transfusion. Based on the availability of stem cells, their relatively defined differentiation mechanisms, and the massive exploration ...

PLATELET TURNOVER AND ATHEROTHROMBOSIS
Атеротромбоз, 2017 Platelets play an important role in initiating atherothrombosis, i.e. the formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel at areas of atherosclerotic vascular injury.

Shiga toxin and lipopolysaccharide induce platelet-leukocyte aggregates and tissue factor release, a thrombotic mechanism in hemolytic uremic syndrome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Aggregates formed between leukocytes and platelets in the circulation lead to release of tissue factor (TF)-bearing microparticles contributing to a prothrombotic state.
