Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role in central nervous system development, neurogenesis and neuronal plasticity. BDNF is also expressed in several non-neuronal tissues, and it could play an important role in other processes ...

The effects of signal transducer and activator of transcription three mutations on human platelets
Involvement of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in inflammation is well known. Recently, a role for STAT3 in platelet activation and platelet production has been suggested.

Potentiation of thrombus instability: a contributory mechanism to the effectiveness of antithrombotic medications [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2018The stability of an arterial thrombus, determined by its structure and ability to resist endogenous fibrinolysis, is a major determinant of the extent of infarction that results from coronary or cerebrovascular thrombosis.

Underlying mechanism and specific prevention of hemolysis-induced platelet activation
Thromboembolic complications significantly impair the outcome of hemolytic disorders. We hypothesized that red cell adenosine diphosphate (ADP) release results in significant platelet activation in hemolysis and that this prothrombotic state can be ...

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 ...

Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]
Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

We aimed to investigate the effects of integrin αIIbβ3 inhibitor tirofiban on hallmarks of platelet activation, degranulation, and aggregation during its use to analyze activated but non-complexed platelets via flow cytometry.

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.

Effect of phosphodiesterase inhibitors on platelet function
Phosphodiesterase enzymes (PDEs) play a pivotal role in regulating platelet activity by modulating intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP. Modulation of PDE-2, -3 and -5 activity by suitable inhibitors has been found to reduce platelet activity, and thus ...
