Echicetin coated polystyrene beads: a novel tool to investigate GPIb-specific platelet activation and aggregation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 von Willebrand factor/ristocetin (vWF/R) induces GPIb-dependent platelet agglutination and activation of αIIbβ3 integrin, which also binds vWF. These conditions make it difficult to investigate GPIb-specific signaling pathways in washed platelets.

Properties and mechanism for selective adsorption of Au(iii) on an ionic liquid adsorbent by grafting N-methyl imidazole onto chloromethylated polystyrene beads. [PDF]
RSC Adv, 2020 To recover Au(iii) from an acidic chloride-containing solution efficiently, an ionic liquid absorbent (CMPS-IL) was synthesized by grafting N-methyl imidazole onto chloromethylated polystyrene beads (CMPS).

IV injection of polystyrene beads for mouse model of sepsis causes severe glomerular injury. [PDF]
J Intensive Care, 2014 BackgroundInfusion fluids may be contaminated with different types of particulates that are a potential health hazard. Particulates larger than microvessels may cause an embolism by mechanical blockage and inflammation; however, it has been reported that

Accumulation and transfer of polystyrene microplastics in Solanum nigrum seedlings [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Microplastic (MP) pollution is lately receiving increasing attention owing to its harmful impact on terrestrial ecosystems. In this microcosm study, we assessed the uptake and transfer of MPs in Solanum nigrum seedlings exposed to 50 mg L–1 of 0.2-µm ...
