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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Randomized trials of platelet function and genetic testing to guide antiplatelet decisions following PCI have produced notoriously mixed results: now, an updated consensus document aims to fill some ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the circadian system, the body's internal clock, regulates human platelet function and causes a peak in platelet activation corresponding to the known morning peak ...

Monocytes, a special type of white blood cell, secrete cytokines as inflammatory messengers that are crucial for an appropriate immune response. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and ...

THE term primary or "spontaneous" hemostasis refers to a complex series of biologic events occurring in immediate response to blood-vessel severance or injury. Although damaged or cut blood vessels ...

For the first time, scientists at University of Leeds reveal a complex mechanism behind blood clotting. The findings, published in Science Advances, visualize a key component of blood ...

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 ...
