Pathogenic mechanisms contributing to thrombocytopenia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition developing thrombocytopenia in about 10–15% of cases, however, mechanisms leading to low platelet count were not deeply investigated in this illness.

Frequency of human platelet antigens −1 to −5 and −15 in Turkmen blood donors
Background: Due to the presence of platelet antigen polymorphisms, human platelet membrane glycoproteins can be identified as an alloantigen or autoantigen.

Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse [PDF]
Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family that are secreted by trophoblast cells. PSGs may modulate immune, angiogenic and platelet responses during pregnancy.

Platelet-collagen adhesion: evidence for participation of antigenically distinct entities. [PDF]
Univalent antibody fragments prepared from a rabbit antiserum raised against whole human platelets completely inhibited adhesion of platelets to immobilized trimeric collagen in a defined, Mg2+-dependent, adhesion assay.

Hematological and surgical management in Glanzmann′s thrombasthenia: A case report
Glanzmann′s thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare, congenital, and moderate to severe platelet disorder. The bleeding time is increased, due to lack of platelet aggregation, since the patients with GT have deficient or dysfunctional integrin membrane ...

Topical use of Autologous Platelet Rich Fibrin in Tympanoplasty: A Prospective Interventional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Tympanoplasty is the surgery performed in Chronic Otitis Media (COM) to improve the hearing function and prevent ear discharge. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is one of the materials that can be used to improve the graft uptake and hearing ...

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Platelet Apoptosis in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia: Insights into the Mechanism of Damage Triggered by Auto-antibodies [PDF]
Mechanisms leading to decreased platelet count in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are heterogeneous. This study describes increased platelet apoptosis involving loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), caspase 3 activation (aCasp3) and ...
