RAP GTPases and platelet integrin signaling
Platelets are highly specialized cells that continuously patrol the vasculature to ensure its integrity (hemostasis). At sites of vascular injury, they are able to respond to trace amounts of agonists and to rapidly transition from an anti-adhesive ...

Late recurrence of a malignant hypoglycemia‑inducing pelvic solitary fibrous tumor secreting high‑molecular‑weight insulin‑like growth factor‑II: A case report with protein analysis [PDF]
The present study reports a case of recurrent malignant pelvic solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) that induced non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia via high-molecular-weight insulin-like growth factor-II in a 72-year-old male patient. The tumor recurred ~12 years
