A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only a key molecule in blood clotting, ...

They discovered that the progenitor cells of MKs are fully consumed and constantly replaced during platelet formation (thrombopoiesis). This decisive process is regulated by the innate immune system ...

Scientists at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have identified a way that chemotherapy causes platelet numbers to drop, answering in the process a decade-old question about the formation of ...

A new study has shown that anti-platelet therapy could help improve outcomes for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), a deadly form of brain bleed. Published in Neurosurgical ...

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic that emerged in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019 spread rapidly throughout the world and has caused over 6.5 million deaths. The disease is caused by ...

Biomedical researchers at Case Western Reserve University report that their latest innovation in developing synthetic platelets could help save lives by rapidly stabilizing clots to reduce blood loss ...
