Moisture absorption and diffusivity of epoxy filled layered-structure nanocomposite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper studies moisture absorption and diffusivity of epoxy reinforced layered structure nanocomposites and its effect on fracture toughness. Two different types of layered fillers employed in the study were clay and graphene platelets, in which both

The role of platelets in the recruitment of leukocytes during vascular disease

open access: yesPlatelets, 2015
Besides their role in the formation of thrombus during haemostasis, it is becoming clear that platelets contribute to a number of other processes within the vasculature.

Non-Linear Poisson-Boltzmann Theory of a Wigner-Seitz Model for Swollen Clays

open access: yes, 1999
Swollen stacks of finite-size disc-like Laponite clay platelets are investigated within a Wigner-Seitz cell model. Each cell is a cylinder containing a coaxial platelet at its centre, together with an overall charge-neutral distribution of microscopic co

When are platelets just platelets? [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 2006
Comment on Kiefel et al, page [3761][1] Severe thrombocytopenia in a 1- to 2-day-old neonate is an emergency situation because of the especially high rate of intracranial hemorrhage. In this issue of Blood , Kiefel and colleagues demonstrate that random donor platelets are often effective (24 of ...

Platelets and Infection – An Emerging Role of Platelets in Viral Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Platelets are anucleate blood cells that play a crucial role in the maintenance of hemostasis. While platelet activation and elevated platelet counts (thrombocytosis) are associated with increased risk of thrombotic complications, low platelet counts ...

Platelet-like Nanoparticles: Mimicking Shape, Flexibility, and Surface Biology of Platelets To Target Vascular Injuries

open access: yesACS Nano, 2014
Targeted delivery of therapeutic and imaging agents in the vascular compartment represents a significant hurdle in using nanomedicine for treating hemorrhage, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis.

An L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway present in human platelets regulates aggregation.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1990
Aggregation of human washed platelets with collagen is accompanied by a concentration-dependent increase in cyclic GMP but not cyclic AMP. NG-Monomethyl-L-arginine (L-MeArg), a selective inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis from L-arginine, reduces ...
