Platelets have been shown to promote liver tumour growth. These blood cells also promote severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which drives liver tumorigenesis. Ma et al. now report a more ...

Study of the bleeding tendency in uremia in 26 subjects, 10 of whom were bleeding, showed platelet counts and plasma coagulation factors to be normal. There was a significant inverse correlation ...

Retrospective single-center review of 80 HFrEF patients added SGLT2 inhibitors on stable guideline-directed therapy, with ...

Platelet-monocyte (PMA) and platelet-neutrophil aggregations (PNA) play critical roles in the evolution of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The present study investigates the mechanistic basis of platelet ...

Patients on prasugrel therapy have greater platelet inhibition than those taking maintenance doses of clopidogrel and thus require a longer time to return to baseline reactivity after stopping the ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a hitherto unknown function of blood platelets in cancer. In mouse models, these platelets have proved to help preserve the vascular barrier which ...

The document follows two earlier consensus documents, released in 2013 and 2016. Dominick Angiolillo, MD, PhD (University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville), senior author of the paper, ...

Gut microbes alter platelet function and risk of blood clot-related illnesses like heart attack and stroke, researchers have demonstrated -- for the first time -- through a combination of both ...

Using marijuana may lead to platelet dysfunction, according to a new study in nonhuman primates. Platelets, a component of blood, play a role in maintaining blood vessel (vascular) health and aid ...

People who drink diet beverages, chew sugar-free gum, or use low-calorie baking blends may be consuming erythritol every day ...

Scientists have discovered a hitherto unknown function of blood platelets in cancer. In mouse models, these platelets have proved to help preserve the vascular barrier which makes blood-vessel walls ...
