Therapy to inhibit platelet neutrophil aggregates and/or neutralize platelet derived proinflammatory mediators may provide a novel therapeutic approach to acute lung injury that should be explored in ...

Scientists have provided new details about how cancer cells spread by surrounding themselves with platelets -- the blood cells needed for blood clotting. These results could help design new drugs that ...

Cyclosporine A (CsA) has an important role in the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). However, CsA sometimes is associated with thrombotic ...

The resulting platelet-bacterial aggregates facilitate the activation of neutrophils, which engulf the trapped microbes. The reason why the versatility of platelets has so far been overlooked may well ...

DURING studies of blood viscosity with a method designed to determine resistance to flow in very small blood vessels, it was unexpectedly found that very high pressures became necessary to force blood ...

As cancer cells migrate in the body from a primary tumor, they’re chaperoned by clumps of platelets. These bloodstream particles shield the cells from damage and help them invade new tissues in the ...

When infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus, the human body produces a series of immune responses. One of them involves platelets, also known as thrombocytes, sticking to immune cells to form clumps, or ...

“It’s an extremely exciting paper,” said Steve Watson, a platelet cell biologist at the University of Birmingham, who did not participate in the research. Though previous research had demonstrated ...

BETHESDA, Md. – Scientists have provided new details about how cancer cells spread by surrounding themselves with platelets – the blood cells needed for blood clotting. Katsue Suzuki-Inoue, Associate ...
