Proteolytic degradation products of fibrinogen, produced as a result of excessive fibrinolysis, have been demonstrated in the blood of cirrhotic patients. 7,8 Such degradation products, when formed in ...

The first study to examine the effects of whole-chocolate consumption on ex vivo platelet function has shown that dark chocolate acutely reduces collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation and reduces ...

Figure 2: Genome-wide association meta-analysis plots for epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation response after filtering of SNPs for QC. Combining our findings with those from prior studies, seven ...

Hyperglycaemia is associated with increased platelet aggregation that increases the risk of thrombosis in people with type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Low glycemic index (GI) meals high in ...

A major factor in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mortality is the development of coagulation abnormalities that may result in thromboembolism. Human platelets have been found by ...

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 ...

When cancer cells and platelets mix, the risk of metastasis and cancer-related deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) increases, but a small, proof-of-concept study suggests that the ...

In a recent study published in the IUBMB journal, researchers assessed the association between platelet-activating factor (PAF) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike ...

Diminished platelet autophagy potentially contributes to thrombocytopenia in cirrhotic patients. H 2 S modulates platelet autophagy and functions possibly via the PDGFR-α/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling ...

Vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores given an oral choline supplement for 2 months have a more than tenfold increase in trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite derived from the gut microbiota that ...

Blood clots often form when lipid-rich plaques on the inner surface of arteries rupture and platelets aggregate at the site of injury. Cardiologists have now compared the effects of two new platelet ...
