The thrombin receptors PAR1 and PAR4 and their relative role in platelet activation

, 2009
Many blood cell mechanisms in the human body are working all the time to maintain haemostasis in the blood vessels. Once a wound arises platelets are alerted via different substances to cover the wound and prevent loss of blood.

Platelet‐Rich Fibrin (PRF) Application and Education in US Graduate Programs: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this cross‐sectional study was to assess platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) application and education in clinical use among US graduate periodontology, endodontic, and oral and maxillofacial surgery programs. A survey questionnaire was electronically distributed to 84 oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), 46 endodontic, and 46 ...

Cefdinir reprograms Gram‐positive bacteria to synergize with lysozyme against superbugs

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a critical global health threat, urgently requiring solutions. Cefdinir, the highest‐selling third‐generation cephalosporin but one now facing clinical obsolescence due to escalating resistance, is conventionally classified as a nascent cell wall synthesis inhibitor.

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,

Thrombin-Mediated Direct Activation of Proteinase-Activated Receptor-2: Another Target for Thrombin Signaling

, 2020
Thrombin is known to signal to cells by cleaving/activating a G-protein-coupled family of proteinase-activated receptors (PARs). The signaling mechanism involves the proteolytic unmasking of an N-terminal receptor sequence that acts as a tethered ...

Head‐to‐Head Comparison of Four Ultrasound Elastography Techniques in Detecting Advanced Fibrosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Elastography is an important noninvasive method for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF); however, evidence remains insufficient, particularly regarding acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) techniques. This prospective mulitcenter study concludes that vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) demonstrates superior diagnostic performance to ...

RNA‐DNA Fusomer Fibers With Customizable Physicochemical, Mechanical, and Biological Properties for Next‐Generation Therapeutics

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce RNA‐DNA fusomers, a new class of chemically synthesized oligonucleotides that combine the versatile properties of RNA and DNA within a single sequence and self‐assemble into higher‐order functional structures via a simple one‐pot annealing reaction.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
