Platelet desialylation and TFH cells–the novel pathway of immune thrombocytopenia
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune-mediated destruction of one’s own platelets. The progression of thrombocytopenia involves an imbalance of platelet production and clearance. B cells can induce autoantibodies,

A platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) is expressed on the plasma membrane after activation. [PDF]
We have previously characterized a monoclonal antibody, S12, that binds only to activated platelets (McEver, R.P., and M.N. Martin, 1984, J. Biol. Chem., 259:9799-9804). It identifies a platelet membrane protein of Mr 140,000, which we have designated as

Recognition of specific sialoglycan structures by oral streptococci impacts the severity of endocardial infection. [PDF]
Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis.

Platelet storage is associated with deleterious changes leading to the loss of platelet reactivity and response. During storage, platelets experience increased expression and shedding of P-selectin and CD40L as specific markers of platelet activation ...

Attaining scalable storage-expansion dualism for bioartificial tissues [PDF]
The untenable dependence of cryopreservation on cytotoxic cryoprotectants has motivated the mining of biochemical libraries to identify molecular features marking cryoprotectants that may prevent ice crystal growth. It is hypothesized that such molecules may be useful across all temperatures eliminating cellular destruction due to equilibration ...

Potentiation of thrombus instability: a contributory mechanism to the effectiveness of antithrombotic medications [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2018The stability of an arterial thrombus, determined by its structure and ability to resist endogenous fibrinolysis, is a major determinant of the extent of infarction that results from coronary or cerebrovascular thrombosis.

Identification of 22 novel mutations in patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia [PDF]
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive inherited platelet function defect that characterized by reduction in, or absence of, platelet aggregation in response to multiple physiologic agonists. GT is characterized by normal platelet

The trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi induces thrombocytopenia during acute Chagas' disease by reducing the platelet sialic acid contents [PDF]
Strong thrombocytopenia is observed during acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasitic protozoan agent of American trypanosomiasis or Chagas' disease.
