Anti-platelet factor 4/polyanion antibodies mediate a new mechanism of autoimmunity [PDF]
Antibodies recognizing complexes of the chemokine platelet factor 4 (PF4-CXCL4) and polyanions (P) opsonize PF4-coated bacteria hereby mediating bacterial host defense. A subset of these antibodies may activate platelets after binding to PF4-heparin complexes, causing the prothrombotic adverse drug reaction heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).

RUNX1 deficiency (familial platelet disorder with predisposition to myeloid leukemia, FPDMM).
In this review, we discuss disease-causing alterations of RUNT-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1), a master regulator of hematopoietic differentiation. Familial platelet disorder with predisposition to myeloid leukemia (FPDMM) typically presents with

Rupture Forces among Human Blood Platelets at different Degrees of Activation [PDF]
Little is known about mechanics underlying the interaction among platelets during activation and aggregation. Although the strength of a blood thrombus has likely major biological importance, no previous study has measured directly the adhesion forces of single platelet-platelet interaction at different activation states.
