Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

The Outer Membrane Lipoprotein Tp0136 Stimulates Human Platelet Activation and Aggregation Through PAR1 to Enhance Gq/Gi Signaling

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundChancre self-healing, a typical clinical phenomenon of primary syphilis, is essentially wound healing. The first response to a wound is constriction of the injured blood vessels and activation of platelets to form a fibrin clot.

Platelets and galectins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A major function of platelets is keeping the vascular system intact. Platelet activation at sites of vascular injury leads to the formation of a hemostatic plug.

Platelet activation. [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis: An Official Journal of the American Heart Association, Inc., 1985
Platelets are discoidal cytoplasmic particles that respond to a variety of stimuli by developing filopodia and rounding up (shape change), developing the ability to bind fibrinogen from the medium, and, with strong stimuli such as thrombin and PAF-acether, secreting the contents of several types of granules.

Platelet surface-associated activation and secretion-mediated inhibition of coagulation factor XII. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Coagulation factor XII (fXII) is important for arterial thrombosis, but its physiological activation mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we elucidated the role of platelets and platelet-derived material in fXII activation.

Platelets and the Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or Antiphospholipid Syndrome

open access: yesTH Open, 2023
Background Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an increased risk of thrombosis even when they do not have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Interactions between complement activation and activated platelets have been suggested in SLE and

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 ...

HIV-1 induces in vivo platelet activation by enhancing platelet NOX2 activity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
OBJECTIVES: HIV-1 patients show increased platelet activation, but the mechanisms involved are not completely clarified. We speculated that HIV-1 might induce in vivo platelet activation by enhancing platelet NOX2-related oxidative stress.

The platelet transcriptome and proteome in Alzheimer’s disease and aging: an exploratory cross-sectional study

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and aging are associated with platelet hyperactivity. However, the mechanisms underlying abnormal platelet function in AD and aging are yet poorly understood.Methods: To explore the molecular profile of AD and aged ...

Platelets and infection — an emerging role of platelets in viral infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Platelets are anucleate blood cells that play a crucial role in the maintenance of hemostasis. While platelet activation and elevated platelet counts (thrombocytosis) are associated with increased risk of thrombotic complications, low platelet counts ...
