Skin calcium deposits in primary familial brain calcification: A novel potential biomarker
Abstract Objective Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by small vessel calcifications in the basal ganglia. PFBC is caused by pathogenic variants in different genes and its physiopathology is still largely unknown. Skin vascular calcifications have been detected in single PFBC cases, suggesting

Circulating platelets derived from bone marrow megakaryocytes play a central role in thrombosis and hemostasis. Despite being anucleate, platelets express several proteins known to have nuclear niche.

BackgroundAlthough 1000s of immune-related and platelet receptor-related genes have been identified in lung adenocarcinoma, their role in prognosis prediction remains unclear.MethodsWe downloaded mRNA data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Dataset (TCGA), and

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 ...

ALS plasma biomarkers reveal neurofilament and pTau correlate with disease onset and progression
Abstract Objective We performed a pilot screen to assess the utility of the NULISA™ (Nucleic‐acid‐Linked Immuno‐Sandwich Assay) platform in the identification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) biomarkers. Methods Plasma from 86 individuals (48 ALS, 18 asymptomatic C9orf72 repeat expansion carriers (AsymC9), and 20 healthy controls) was analyzed ...

Density functional theory for colloidal mixtures of hard platelets, rods, and spheres [PDF]
A geometry-based density functional theory is presented for mixtures of hard spheres, hard needles and hard platelets; both the needles and the platelets are taken to be of vanishing thickness. Geometrical weight functions that are characteristic for each species are given and it is shown how convolutions of pairs of weight functions recover each Mayer
