Researchers have identified serine threonine kinase 10 as a key regulator of platelet function, haemostasis and ...

Study of the bleeding tendency in uremia in 26 subjects, 10 of whom were bleeding, showed platelet counts and plasma coagulation factors to be normal. There was a significant inverse correlation ...

Platelet activation is a required step in hemostasis following vascular injury. After binding to exposed ligands on the subendothelium, platelets change shape to increase their surface area, become ...

Scientists have discovered a hitherto unknown function of blood platelets in cancer. In mouse models, these platelets have proved to help preserve the vascular barrier which makes blood-vessel walls ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a hitherto unknown function of blood platelets in cancer. In mouse models, these platelets have proved to help preserve the vascular barrier which ...

Since the discovery of platelets approximately 160 years ago, extensive research has characterized how platelets function and clarified their role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and in a number of ...

You must have heard platelet count decreasing in diseases like dengue or viral infections. But do you know what it is and its role in your overall health? These are small colourless cell fragments in ...

There are different types of blood cells in our body that perform different functions. Platelets are also one type of blood cells. Role of platelets is to heal the injuries and form blood clots that ...

A new study successfully identifies new genetic variants involved in the formation of platelets and more importantly, defines how genes near these variants affect platelet size and number using a ...

Patients on prasugrel therapy have greater platelet inhibition than those taking maintenance doses of clopidogrel and thus require a longer time to return to baseline reactivity after stopping the ...

Managing drug dosage is critical to the overall success of pharmaceutical intervention, not only in the clinic but also in clinical trials. Inadequate dose management of certain drugs can have fatal ...
