Intravital microscopy image from the liver of a mouse model: a platelet (turquoise) adheres to the inflamed vessel wall (yellow dashed outline) and sheds a long, filamentous membrane extension—a ...

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 ...

A new study created a score to identify patients with platelet hyperreactivity and risk of related, future cardiovascular disease. Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form ...

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 ...

Because leukemia is a blood cancer, it can affect a person’s platelet count. People with leukemia sometimes have a low platelet count. However, other conditions can also cause low platelets. Leukemia ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology with a study published in Science. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only ...
