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 ...

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 ...

Increased levels of monocyte–platelet aggregates (MPAs) are reported to be highly correlated with cardiovascular events. In this study, the MPA levels in different monocyte subsets and the ...

A group of biophysicists have developed a mathematical model of arterial thrombus formation, which is the main cause of heart attacks and strokes. The scientists described the process of platelet ...

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 ...

The Lipid Hypothesis of coronary artery disease has long held that a high level of cholesterol is the causative factor of atherosclerosis, but a group of New York scientists is making a powerful case ...

Even as surgeons have become more highly skilled at performing lifesaving heart surgeries, the overall outcome of the procedure continues to be threatened by complications such as acute kidney or lung ...

Changes in blood platelets triggered by COVID-19 could contribute to the onset of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious complications in some patients who have the disease, according to University ...

“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 ...
