Appraising non-linear association between pre-diagnostic platelet counts and cancer survival outcomes: observational and genetic analysis

Platelets
Previous studies have reported inconsistent associations between platelet count (PLT) and cancer survival. However, whether there is linear causal effect merits in-depth investigations.

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.

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Platelet mass cytometry reveals dysregulation of prothrombotic pathways in essential thrombocythemia

Platelets
Thromboembolic events are common in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the increased thrombotic risk remain to be determined.

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.

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

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

, 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

Permeability and conductivity of platelet-reinforced membranes and composites

, 2001
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 ...

Enhancement of platelet response to immune complexes and IgG aggregates by lipid A-rich bacterial lipopolysaccharides. [PDF]

, 1978
The effect of the common lipid moiety of bacterial LPS on secretion from washed human platelets has been studied. The lipid A-rich LPS of S. minnesota R595 and a lipid A preparation both potentiated platelet serotonin secretion in response to IgG ...

Light transmission aggregometry for platelet function testing: position paper on current recommendations and French proposals for accreditation

Platelets
Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) is a method used to investigate platelet functions in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), notably when screening for platelet disorders.
