New research shows that activated platelets bind CD8-positive T cells via P-selectin and PSGL-1, directly suppressing their ...
Future Microbiol. 2013;8(11):1431-1451. Platelet GPIIIa, and even the same epitope within this surface protein, are also targets of autoantibodies, which are generated in HIV-infected patients.
As people age, they become more prone to blood clotting diseases, when blood cells called platelets clump together when they don't need to and can cause major issues such as strokes and cardiovascular ...
Researchers have developed a GMP-compatible, risk-based framework for expanding human cartilage cells with platelet lysate, ...
Platelets play an essential role in wound healing. Underproduction can cause devastating bleeding, while overproduction increases the deadly risk of thromboses. Maintaining a constant level of ...
When a vascular injury occurs, platelets in young mice form much smaller blood clots (left) than platelets in old mice (right), where the clot almost blocks the blood vessel. Fluorescence microscopy ...
As people age, they become more prone to blood clotting diseases, when blood cells called platelets clump together when they don't need to and can cause major issues such as strokes and cardiovascular ...
Together with researchers from University of Oxford, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that a subclass of stem cells that are dedicated to the production of platelets replenish ...
Platelet transfusions are essential in managing bleeding and hemostatic dysfunction, and can be expanded to be used as cell therapy for a variety of diseases. The efforts to create such cell therapies ...
Researchers have discovered a distinct, secondary population of platelets that appears with aging and have hyperreactive behavior and unique molecular properties, which could make them easier to ...
