Evaluation of human platelet granules by structured illumination laser fluorescence microscopy

Platelets, 2023
Many roles of human platelets in health and disease are linked to their ability to transport and secrete a variety of small molecules and proteins carried in dense (δ-) and α-granules.

Platelets and Anti-platelet Therapy

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
Platelets play a central role in the hemostatic process and consequently are similarly involved in the pathological counterpart, thrombosis. They adhere to various subendothelial proteins, exposed either by injury or disease, and subsequently become activated by the thrombogenic surface or locally produced agonists.

Young steady-state rabbit platelets do not have an enhanced capacity to expose procoagulant phosphatidylserine

Platelets, 2018
Platelets are recognized to be physiologically and functionally heterogeneous. An example of the diversity in reactivity is the formation of a distinct subpopulation of procoagulant phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposing platelets upon activation. Platelet age

Developing human tissue engineered arterial constructs to simulate human in vivo thrombus formation

Platelets, 2023
Thrombus formation is highly dependent upon the physico-chemical environment in which it is triggered. Our ability to understand how thrombus formation is initiated, regulated, and resolved in the human body is dependent upon our ability to replicate the

Association of immature platelets with perioperative complications in neurosurgery

Platelets, 2023
Immature platelets are newly formed platelets with an increased prothrombotic potential. This study evaluates whether immature platelets are associated with relevant complications in neurosurgical patients.

Immature platelets in COVID-19

Platelets, 2023
Platelets play a critical role in immune response. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with a severe course often show pathological coagulation parameters including thrombocytopenia, and at the same time the proportion of immature platelets ...

Atorvastatin-mediated inhibition of prenylation of Rab27b and Rap1a in platelets attenuates their prothrombotic capacity and modulates clot structure

Platelets, 2023
Statins inhibit the mevalonate pathway by impairing protein prenylation via depletion of lipid geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP). Rab27b and Rap1a are small GTPase proteins involved in dense granule secretion, platelet activation, and regulation.

Decreased platelet miR-199a-5p level might lead to high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity in patients with coronary artery disease

Platelets, 2023
Clopidogrel combined with aspirin is widely used in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, while some patients exhibit high platelet activity when receiving the combined treatment. Current environmental and genetic factors could only explain part of the

Platelet glycogenolysis is important for energy production and function

Platelets, 2023
Although the presence of glycogen in platelets was established in the 1960s, its importance to specific functions (i.e., activation, secretion, aggregation, and clot contraction) remains unclear.

Hirudin versus citrate as an anticoagulant for ROTEM platelet whole blood impedance aggregometry in thrombocytopenic patients

Platelets, 2023
Citrate is widely used as an anticoagulant for platelet function tests (PFTs). Due to an intrinsic inhibitory effect of citrate on platelet function, hirudin is used as an alternative.
