The platelet‐surface thiol isomerase enzyme ERp57 modulates platelet function [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Thiol isomerases are a family of endoplasmic reticulum enzymes which orchestrate redox-based modifications of protein disulphide bonds. Previous studies have identified important roles for the thiol isomerases PDI and ERp5 in the regulation ...

Myricetin, the main flavonoid in Syzygium cumini leaf, is a novel inhibitor of platelet thiol isomerases PDI and ERp5 [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Flavonoids have been characterized as a prominent class of compounds to treat thrombotic diseases through the inhibition of thiol isomerases. Syzygium cumini is a flavonoid-rich medicinal plant that contains myricetin and gallic acid.

The actin binding proteins cortactin and HS1 are dispensable for platelet actin nodule and megakaryocyte podosome formation [PDF]
, 2016 A dynamic, properly organised actin cytoskeleton is critical for the production and haemostatic function of platelets. The Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) and Actin-Related Proteins 2 & 3 Complex (Arp2/3 complex) are critical mediators of ...

Cobimetinib and trametinib inhibit platelet MEK but do not cause platelet dysfunction [PDF]
, 2018 The MEK inhibitors cobimetinib and trametinib are used in combination with BRAF inhibitors to treat metastatic melanoma but increase rates of hemorrhage relative to BRAF inhibitors alone.

Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]
, 2016 Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

Effects of High Flavanol Dark Chocolate on Cardiovascular Function and Platelet Aggregation. [PDF]
, 2015 Regular consumption of chocolate and cocoa products has been linked to reduced cardiovascular mortality. This study compared the effects of high flavanol dark chocolate (HFDC; 1064mg flavanols/day for 6 weeks) and low flavanol dark chocolate (LFDC; 88mg ...

Anti-platelet therapy: ADP receptor antagonists. [PDF]
, 2011 The P2Y(12) receptor on platelets with which ADP interacts has an important role in promoting platelet function and thereby platelet involvement in both haemostasis and thrombosis.

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]
, 2020 Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Severe platelet dysfunction in NHL patients receiving ibrutinib is absent in patients receiving acalabrutinib [PDF]
, 2017 The Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor ibrutinib induces platelet dysfunction and causes increased risk of bleeding. Off-target inhibition of Tec is believed to contribute to platelet dysfunction and other side-effects of ibrutinib.
