Thrombospondin promotes platelet aggregation [PDF]
Abstract Thrombospondin (TSP), isolated from human platelets, promotes aggregation of both nonstimulated platelets and platelets stimulated with thrombin or ADP. The TSP-promoted aggregation is specific since a monoclonal antibody against TSP inhibits the effect of exogenously added TSP and inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation ...

Effects of electronic cigarette flavorants on human platelet aggregation ex vivo
Because little is known about the effects of individual flavorants in electronic cigarette (e-cig) fluids on human platelet aggregation, we tested for the direct effects of 15 common e-cig flavorants on adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced human platelet ...

Augmentation by resveratrol of the inhibitory effect of ethanol on platelet aggregation
Ethanol and resveratrol have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation. The aim of this study was to determine whether resveratrol has an additional effect on ethanol-induced inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Mucor circinelloides induces platelet aggregation through integrin αIIbβ3 and FcγRIIA
Thrombosis is a hallmark of the fatal fungal infection mucormycosis. Yet, the platelet activation pathway in response to mucormycetes is unknown. In this study we determined the platelet aggregation potential of Mucor circinelloides (M.

Effects of pentoxifylline on canine platelet aggregation
Background Pentoxifylline can decrease platelet function in humans, but the anti‐platelet effects of pentoxifylline in dogs is unknown. The addition of a luciferin–luciferase reagent during platelet aggregometry can induce a dose‐dependent potentiation ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.
