Thrombin-induced events in non-platelet cells are mediated by the unique proteolytic mechanism established for the cloned platelet thrombin receptor. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
We recently isolated a cDNA clone encoding a functional platelet thrombin receptor that defined a unique mechanism of receptor activation. Thrombin cleaves its receptor's extracellular amino terminal extension, unmasking a new amino terminus that ...

The electrorheology of suspensions consisting of Na-Fluorohectorite synthetic clay particles in silicon oil

open access: yes, 2010
Under application of an electric field greater than a triggering electric field $E_c \sim 0.4$ kV/mm, suspensions obtained by dispersing particles of the synthetic clay fluoro-hectorite in a silicon oil, aggregate into chain- and/or column-like ...

Hybrid finite difference/finite element immersed boundary method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The immersed boundary method is an approach to fluid-structure interaction that uses a Lagrangian description of the structural deformations, stresses, and forces along with an Eulerian description of the momentum, viscosity, and incompressibility of ...

Platelet compatibility and platelet antibodies detection: A step towards resolving dilemma in management of platelet refractoriness in oncology patients

open access: yesGlobal Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2019
Background: Platelet refractoriness complicates the provision of platelet transfusions- a critical and essential part in management of thrombocytopenia in Oncology patients. Platelet refractoriness poses challenge due to alloimmunization to HLA (Class I)

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
It was the aim of the present study to get insight into some of the intracellular mechanisms by which the vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II (ANG II), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and norepinephrine (NE) inhibit renin release from renal ...

Basic Studies on the Clinical Applications of Platelet-Rich Plasma

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2003
Platelets, which contain many growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), are being used in clinical applications as platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Development of a high-yield expression and purification system for platelet factor 4

open access: yesPlatelets, 2017
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an adverse drug reaction characterized by IgG antibodies bound to complexes of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and heparin. The majority of diagnostic tests for HIT rely on an exogenous source of PF4 to identify anti-PF4/heparin antibodies.
