Bulk fluid phase behaviour of colloidal platelet-sphere and platelet-polymer mixtures [PDF]

, 2012
Using a geometry-based fundamental measure density functional theory, we calculate bulk fluid phase diagrams of colloidal mixtures of vanishingly thin hard circular platelets and hard spheres. We find isotropic-nematic phase separation with strong broadening of the biphasic region upon increasing the pressure.

Vortex interactions in a thin platelet superconductor [PDF]

J Stat Mech (2008) 11004, 2008
The thermal fluctations of vortices in a superconductor can be usefully mapped onto the quantum fluctations of a collection of bosons at T=0 moving in 2 dimensions. When the superconductor is a thin platelet with the magnetic field parallel to its surface, the interacting quantum bosons are effectively moving in 1 dimension, allowing for powerful ...

Impaired platelet function in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome associated with novel mutations in HPS3, HPS6 and HPS8 genes

Bleeding, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology
We report three unrelated cases of Hermansky-Pudlak (HP) characterized by novel mutations in HPS3 (compound heterozygosity for c.1457G>A and c.1813G>T), HPS6 (homozygous c.210_211insGGGCC), and HPS8 (homozygous c.299dupC in BLOC1S3) genes.

TEG®6s system measures the contributions of both platelet count and platelet function to clot formation at the site-of-care

Platelets, 2020
Knowledge of platelet count and function is key to ensuring appropriate hemostatic management. We hypothesized that the novel, portable TEG®6s coagulation assessment system could evaluate the contribution of both platelet count and function to clot ...

Transmission matrix of a uniaxial optically active crystal platelet [PDF]

, 2005
Expressions corresponding to the transmission of a uniaxial optically active crystal platelet are provided for an optical axis parallel and perpendicular to the plane of interface. The optical activity is taken into account by a consistent multipolar expansion of the crystal medium response due to the path of an electromagnetic wave. Numerical examples

Normal platelet function [PDF]

Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2017
Platelets play an important role in the vessel. Following their formation from megakaryocytes, platelets exist in circulation for 5-7 days and primarily function as regulators of hemostasis and thrombosis. Following vascular insult or injury, platelets become activated in the blood resulting in adhesion to the exposed extracellular matrix underlying ...

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Determinants of Endogenous Fibrinolysis in Whole Blood Under High Shear in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2022
Summary: Hypofibrinolysis is a recently-recognized risk factor for recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but the mechanistic determinants of this are not well understood.

Effect of polydispersity and soft interactions on the nematic vs. smectic phase stability in platelet suspensions [PDF]

J. Chem. Phys. 134, 124904 (2011), 2011
We discuss theoretically, using density-functional theory, the phase stability of nematic and smectic ordering in a suspension of platelets of the same thickness but with a high polydispersity in diameter, and study the influence of polydispersity on this stability. The platelets are assumed to interact like hard objects, but additional soft attractive

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...
