In conclusion, empagliflozin induced a coordinated metabolic reprogramming in monocytes and uniquely reduced proinflammatory ...

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 ...

Antiplatelet drugs are one of the main tools used to prevent thrombus formation in people who have had a heart attack or stroke or who have cardiovascular diseases with a high thrombotic risk. These ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

COVID-19 could trigger changes in blood platelet levels which could in turn cause heart attacks, strokes and other serious health consequences in infected individuals. The experts at the University of ...

Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form blood clots that stop bleeding in injured vessels. Cardiologists have long known that platelets can become "hyperreactive" to cause ...
