Diagnostic and prognostic role of platelets in patients with sepsis and septic shock
Studies investigating the prognostic role of platelets commonly include critically ill patients, whereas data regarding the prognostic impact of platelet count in patients admitted with sepsis and septic shock is limited.

Platelets and Anti-platelet Therapy
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.

Platelet kinetics in the pulmonary microcirculation in vivo assessed by intravital microscopy [PDF]
Growing evidence supports the substantial pathophysiological impact of platelets on the development of acute lung injury. Methods for studying these cellular mechanisms in vivo are not present yet.

Compartmentalized megakaryocyte death generates functional platelets committed to caspase-independent death [PDF]
Caspase-directed apoptosis usually fragments cells, releasing nonfunctional, prothrombogenic, membrane-bound apoptotic bodies marked for rapid engulfment by macrophages.

What can we learn from senescent platelets, their transcriptomes and proteomes? [PDF]
Research into the natural aging process of platelets has garnered much research interest in recent years, and there have long been associations drawn between the proportion of newly formed platelets in the circulation and the risk of thrombosis. However,

Platelets are transfused to patients to prevent bleeding. Since both preparation and storage can impact the hemostatic functions of platelets, we studied platelet concentrates (PCs) with different initial composition in regard to platelet fragmentation ...

Association of immature platelets with perioperative complications in neurosurgery
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.

Acidic preparations of lysed platelets upregulate proliferative pathways in osteoblast-like cells as demonstrated by genome-wide microarray analysis [PDF]
latelets contain numerous growth factors essential for wound and fracture healing. We investigated the gene expression in human osteoblast-like cells stimulated with lysed platelets prepared in acidic, neutral, or alkaline buffers.

Immature platelets in COVID-19
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 ...

Normalization of qPCR in platelets – YWHAE a potential genericreference gene
The mRNA of human platelets has been extensively studied and it is generally appreciated that platelets contain mRNA transcripts derived from the megakaryocytes, and they have the ability to translate it into proteins.
