Connectedness percolation of hard convex polygonal rods and platelets [PDF]

, 2018
The properties of polymer composites with nanofiller particles change drastically above a critical filler density known as the percolation threshold. Real nanofillers, such as graphene flakes and cellulose nanocrystals, are not idealized disks and rods ...

HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

Exploring the morphine-platelet activity association in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Platelets
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is usually caused by a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque, with subsequent thrombus formation. Platelet inhibition and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are essential treatments.

Platelet extracellular vesicles are efficient delivery vehicles of doxorubicin, an anti-cancer drug: preparation and in vitro characterization

Platelets, 2023
Platelet extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are an emerging delivery vehi for anticancer drugs due to their ability to target and remain in the tumor microenvironment.

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

Effects of Non‐Aspirin Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs on Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Despite celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase‐2 inhibitor, promoting functional recovery from intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by reducing inflammation‐mediated perihematomal edema in rat models, the evidence of its effects on patient outcomes remains limited.

Application of the Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA) to validate drug target engagement in platelets

Platelets
Small molecule drugs play a major role in the study of human platelets. Effective action of a drug requires it to bind to one or more targets within the platelet (target engagement). However, although in vitro assays with isolated proteins can be used to

Effects of platelet-rich fibrin produced by three centrifugation protocols on bone neoformation in defects created in rat calvaria

Platelets, 2023
This study evaluated the potential of Leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF; fixed angle centrifugation protocol), Advanced-platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF; low-speed fixed angle centrifugation protocol), and Horizontal-platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF ...

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

, 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

Long‐Term Evaluation of Givinostat in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Natural History Comparisons

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This ongoing, open‐label extension study is evaluating the long‐term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of givinostat, a Class I and II histone deacetylase inhibitor, in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Methods The recruited patients completed one of two prior clinical studies (one Phase 2 and one Phase 3 [EPIDYS ...
