The possibility of targeting activated platelets as a strategy to prevent cognitive impairment is raised by results of a new imaging study, the authors suggest. The study, a substudy of the Kronos ...

Platelets are small, anucleate blood cells that play an essential role in hemostasis. Their primary task is to recognize vascular injury, become activated, and aggregate via their surface receptor ...

Low-dose aspirin may limit cancer metastasis by inhibiting platelet activation and enhancing T-cell immunity, supporting biomarker guided use while balancing bleeding risk overall.

Study finds that a high-fat diet boosts platelet activation and tumor cell homing—effects reversible with diet change or platelet depletion. Study: The Impact of a High -Fat Diet and Platelet ...

Without platelets, we would die pretty easily. The microscopic plate-shaped structures in our bloodstream rush to the site of an injury, forming clots that stop blood loss and help stimulate the ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the ...

Abnormal crosstalk between blood platelets and cells lining blood vessels is one cause of deadly organ damage in patients with severe COVID-19, a new study finds. Led by researchers from NYU Grossman ...
