Human platelet activation by Escherichia coli: roles for FcγRIIA and integrin αIIbβ3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Gram-negative Escherichia coli cause diseases such as sepsis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in which thrombotic disorders can be found. Direct platelet–bacterium interactions might contribute to some of these conditions; however, mechanisms of human ...

In silico analysis of Glanzmann variants of Calf-1 domain of αIIbβ3 integrin revealed dynamic allosteric effect

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Integrin αIIbβ3 mediates platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. In a rare hereditary bleeding disorder, Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), αIIbβ3 expression / function are impaired.

Glycoprotein Ib clustering in platelets can be inhibited by α-linolenic acid as revealed by cryo-electron tomography

open access: yesHaematologica, 2020
Platelet adhesion to the sub-endothelial matrix and damaged endothelium occurs through a multi-step process mediated in the initial phase by glycoprotein Ib binding to von Willebrand factor (vWF), which leads to the subsequent formation of a platelet ...

The actin binding proteins cortactin and HS1 are dispensable for platelet actin nodule and megakaryocyte podosome formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A dynamic, properly organised actin cytoskeleton is critical for the production and haemostatic function of platelets. The Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) and Actin-Related Proteins 2 & 3 Complex (Arp2/3 complex) are critical mediators of ...

Role of platelet-derived growth factors in physiology and medicine.

open access: yesGenes & Development, 2008
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) have served as prototypes for growth factor and receptor tyrosine kinase function for more than 25 years. Studies of PDGFs and PDGFRs in animal development have revealed roles for PDGFR-

On the Quest for In Vitro Platelet Production by Re-Tailoring the Concepts of Megakaryocyte Differentiation

open access: yesMedicina, 2020
The demand of platelet transfusions is steadily growing worldwide, inter-donor variation, donor dependency, or storability/viability being the main contributing factors to the current global, donor-dependent platelet concentrate shortage concern.

Platelet kinetics in the pulmonary microcirculation in vivo assessed by intravital microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
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.

Refinement of a mouse cardiovascular model: Development, application and dissemination [version 1; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
European and UK legislation requires all animal procedures to be conducted with consideration to reduction, refinement and replacement. In this review, 3Rs developments are discussed in the field of platelet biology and thromboembolism. Platelet research

The lung is a site of platelet biogenesis and a reservoir for hematopoietic progenitors

open access: yesNature, 2017
Platelets are critical for haemostasis, thrombosis, and inflammatory responses, but the events that lead to mature platelet production remain incompletely understood.

Ayurvedic preparations of Raudra Rasa inhibit agonist‐mediated platelet activation and restrict thrombogenicity without affecting cell viability

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2023
Ayurveda is considered to be one of the most ancient forms of medicine still practiced. The Ayurvedic preparation Raudra Rasa and its derivatives have been widely employed against cancer since the 12th century, but the effect of these traditional ...
