Binding of adenosine diphosphate to human blood platelets and to isolated blood platelet membranes [PDF]
The equilibrium binding of 14C-labeled ADP to intact washed human blood platelets and to platelet membranes was investigated. With both intact platelets and platelet membranes a similar concentration dependence curve was found. It consisted of a curvilinear part below 20 microM and a rectilinear part above this concentration. At high ADP concentrations,

Contribution of blood platelets to vascular pathology in Alzheimer’s disease
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the clinical setting, nearly 98% AD patients have CAA, and 75% of these patients are rated as severe CAA.

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...

Platelets in Amyloidogenic Mice Are Activated and Invade the Brain
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with a complex and not fully understood pathogenesis. Besides brain-intrinsic hallmarks such as abnormal deposition of harmful proteins, i.e., amyloid beta in plaques and hyperphosphorylated Tau in ...

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibiting drugs (SSRIs) are widely used for endogenous depression. In addition to depleting the nerve terminals of serotonin they also lower blood platelet serotonin levels.

Origin of Blood Platelets [PDF]
THE conclusion of J. H. Wright1 that blood platelets are detached portions of the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes has been supported by much circumstantial evidence, and is generally accepted2, although unequivocal direct evidence is lacking.

Effect of tube diameter and capillary number on platelet margination and near-wall dynamics [PDF]
The effect of tube diameter $D$ and capillary number $Ca$ on platelet margination in blood flow at $\approx 37\%$ tube haematocrit is investigated. The system is modelled as three-dimensional suspension of deformable red blood cells and nearly rigid platelets using a combination of the lattice-Boltzmann, immersed boundary and finite element methods ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (
