IF enhances the production of IPA from intestinal Clostridium sporogenes, which directly attenuates platelet activation and thrombosis, and alleviates microvascular thrombosis after I/R injury by ...

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 ...

Platelets are small types of blood cells that prevent excessive bleeding. It’s possible to develop low or high platelet counts related to a number of health conditions. Platelets are one of the main ...

Megakaryocytes, which are derived from hematopoietic stem cell precursors in bone marrow, form and release platelets; these circulate in the blood for 8 to 10 days before they are removed by hepatic ...

Thrombocytopenia is an atypically low platelet count. Acquired thrombocytopenia is caused by conditions that develop throughout your life instead of genes inherited from birth. Acquired ...

The most common etiology of pseudothrombocytopenia is platelet clumping induced by EDTA, which is the anticoagulant present in the purple tube in which blood is collected for a CBC. This clumping is ...

A mechanism that led some patients to experience cases of deadly clotting following some types of Covid-19 vaccination has been identified in new research. In a paper published in Blood, scientists ...

Research has proven frozen blood platelets are safe and effective for use in critically injured patients—a breakthrough dramatically extending their shelf life for transfusions from one week to two ...

When donated blood is in low supply, platelets are even scarcer. These cell fragments, which are essential for blood clotting, have a short shelf life. Whereas whole blood can be refrigerated for up ...
