Platelet Toll-like receptor expression and activation induced by lipopolysaccharide and sepsis
Platelets and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling play a role in the immune response during sepsis. Although preclinical knowledge about the role of platelet TLR signalling is increasing, data during human sepsis are less abundant.

Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) alters platelet reactivity, and as a consequence, patients living with HIV may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The tyrosine phosphatase CD148 is an essential positive regulator of platelet activation and thrombosis [PDF]
Platelets play a fundamental role in hemostasis and thrombosis. They are also involved in pathologic conditions resulting from blocked blood vessels, including myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.

A subset of anti-HLA antibodies induces FcγRIIa-dependent platelet activation
HLA antibodies are associated with refractoriness to platelet transfusion, leading to rapid platelet clearance, sometimes coinciding with clinical side effects such as fever and chills.

Cobimetinib and trametinib inhibit platelet MEK but do not cause platelet dysfunction [PDF]
The MEK inhibitors cobimetinib and trametinib are used in combination with BRAF inhibitors to treat metastatic melanoma but increase rates of hemorrhage relative to BRAF inhibitors alone.

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

Endogenous SIRT6 in platelets negatively regulates platelet activation and thrombosis
Thromboembolism resulting from platelet dysfunction constitutes a significant contributor to the development of cardiovascular disease. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), an essential NAD+-dependent enzyme, has been linked to arterial thrombosis when absent in ...

GRK6 regulates the hemostatic response to injury through its rate-limiting effects on GPCR signaling in platelets. [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate the majority of platelet activation in response to agonists. However, questions remain regarding the mechanisms that provide negative feedback toward activated GPCRs to limit platelet activation and thrombus ...
