NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2): a key target of oxidative stress-mediated platelet activation and thrombosis [PDF]
Oxidative stress represents an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the cellular antioxidant system. Increased levels of oxidative stress contribute to the development of atherosclerosis that eventually leads to ...

Expression and function of the collagen receptor GPVI during megakaryocyte maturation. [PDF]
peer reviewedIn this report, the expression and function of the platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) were studied in human megakaryocytes during differentiation and maturation of mobilized blood and cord blood derived CD34(+) cells.

Drug‐induced gingival overgrowth involves dysregulation of intracellular collagen degradation. The mechanisms that are involved in the regulation of lysosomal collagenolytic activity are poorly understood. Here, we focus on how cathepsins, Rabs, and V‐ATPases regulate intracellular collagen degradation and, in particular, the vesicular trafficking and ...

Platelets promote wound healing by forming a vascular plug and by secreting growth factors and cytokines. Glycoprotein (GP)VI and C-type lectin-like receptor (CLEC)-2 signal through a (hem)-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, which induces ...

Citalopram inhibits platelet function independently of SERT-mediated 5-HT transport. [PDF]
Citalopram prevents serotonin (5-HT) uptake into platelets by blocking the serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT). Although some clinical data suggest that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may affect haemostasis and thrombosis, these poorly-

Emerging Strategies for Platelet‐Modified Nanoparticles in Targeted Tumor Therapy
This review highlights innovative strategies using platelet‐modified nanoparticles to target tumors more precisely. By mimicking platelet functions, these biomimetic carriers improve tumor homing, enhance drug delivery, and reduce immune clearance.

The Role of Genetics in Stroke Risk and Outcome: A Review of Current Evidence
This study delineates the multiple pathways leading to stroke, encompassing genetic risk factors such as lipid/cholesterol metabolism, blood pressure regulation genes, and endothelial dysfunction. The report includes genetic pathways such as Val66Met polymorphism, prothrombin G20210A, interleukin‐6 and tumor necrosis factor gene variant, along with ...

Inhibition of Glycoprotein VI Clustering by Collagen as a Mechanism of Inhibiting Collagen-Induced Platelet Responses: The Example of Losartan. [PDF]
Exposure of platelets to collagen triggers the formation of a platelet clot. Pharmacological agents capable of inhibiting platelet activation by collagen are thus of potential therapeutic interest.
