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.

Structural identification of oxidized acyl-phosphatidylcholines that induce platelet activation [PDF]
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates proinflammatory and prothrombotic mediators that may play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Blood flow through left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) may induce activation and dysfunction of platelets. Dysfunctional platelets cause coagulation disturbances and form platelet-neutrophil conjugates (PNC), which contribute to inflammatory tissue ...

Platelet activation via dynamic conformational changes of von Willebrand factor under shear.
Shear-induced conformational changes of von Willebrand factor (VWF) play an important role in platelet activation. A novel approach describing VWF unfolding on the platelet surface under dynamic shear stress is proposed.

Evolution of platelet activation parameters during septic shock in intensive care unit
During severe sepsis, platelet activation may induce disseminate microvascular thrombosis, which play a key role in critical organ failure. Crucially, most of the studies in this field have explored platelet–leukocyte interactions in animal models, or ...

Zinc is a transmembrane agonist that induces platelet activation in a tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent manner [PDF]
Following platelet adhesion and primary activation at sites of vascular injury, secondary platelet activation is induced by soluble platelet agonists, such as ADP, ATP, thrombin and thromboxane.

RASA3 is a critical inhibitor of RAP1-dependent platelet activation.
The small GTPase RAP1 is critical for platelet activation and thrombus formation. RAP1 activity in platelets is controlled by the GEF CalDAG-GEFI and an unknown regulator that operates downstream of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor, P2Y12, a ...

Platelet adhesion and degranulation induce pro-survival and pro-angiogenic signalling in ovarian cancer cells [PDF]
Thrombosis is common in ovarian cancer. However, the interaction of platelets with ovarian cancer cells has not been critically examined. To address this, we investigated platelet interactions in a range of ovarian cancer cell lines with different ...

Autophagy is induced upon platelet activation and is essential for hemostasis and thrombosis.
Autophagy is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and thus its deficiency is implicated in a broad spectrum of human diseases. Its role in platelet function has only recently been examined.

Gradient-dependent inhibition of stimulatory signaling from platelet G protein-coupled receptors [PDF]
As platelet activation is an irreversible and potentially harmful event, platelet stimulatory signaling must be tightly regulated to ensure the filtering-out of inconsequential fluctuations of agonist concentrations in the vascular milieu.
