Why enveloped viruses need cores -- the contribution of a nucleocapsid core to viral budding [PDF]
During the alphavirus lifecycle, a nucleocapsid core buds through the cell membrane to acquire an outer envelope of lipid membrane and viral glycoproteins. However, the presence of a nucleocapsid core is not required for assembly of infectious particles.

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.

Pesquisa de anticorpos antiplaquetários. As primeiras cem amostras estudadas.
Two types of platelet alloantigens are considered: type I, which refers to platelet alloantigens shared by platelets and other cells; and type II, which comprises the platelet-specific alloantigens.

Permeability and conductivity of platelet-reinforced membranes and composites [PDF]
We present large scale simulations of the diffusion constant $D$ of a random composite consisting of aligned platelets with aspect ratio $a/b>>1$ in a matrix (with diffusion constant $D_0$) and find that $D/D_0 = 1/(1+ c_1 x + c_2 x^2)$, where $x= a v_f/b$ and $v_f$ is the platelet volume fraction.

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.

Isolation of Some Platelet Membrane Glycoproteins [PDF]
The platelet is surrounded by a pronounced glycocalix formed by carbohydrate moieties of the membrane glycoproteins. The number of glycoproteins of the outer platelet membrane is greater in number than had previously been reported : when solubilized membranes are analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the number of separated carbohydrate ...

Three-dimensional Multiscale Model of Deformable Platelets Adhesion to Vessel Wall in Blood Flow [PDF]
When a blood vessel ruptures or gets inflamed, the human body responds by rapidly forming a clot to restrict the loss of blood. Platelets aggregation at the injury site of the blood vessel occurring via platelet-platelet adhesion, tethering and rolling on the injured endothelium is a critical initial step in blood clot formation.

Dental management considerations for the patient with an acquired coagulopathy. Part 1: Coagulopathies from systemic disease [PDF]
Current teaching suggests that many patients are at risk for prolonged bleeding during and following invasive dental procedures, due to an acquired coagulopathy from systemic disease and/or from medications.
