Cyclosporine A (CsA) has an important role in the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). However, CsA sometimes is associated with thrombotic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicians treating coronavirus infections have a new diagnostic that could help identify patients at risk of organ failure. Keisuke Goda, University of Tokyo professor of chemistry, led the study of ...

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 ...

“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 ...
