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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since the discovery of platelets approximately 160 years ago, extensive research has characterized how platelets function and clarified their role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and in a number of ...

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 ...

Against the backdrop of wide variability in thrombotic risk and clopidogrel response in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as well as growing use of more potent antiplatelet ...

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 ...

COVID-19 triggers hyperactivity in platelets leading to the formation of more blood clots in some patients. Photo credit: Getty Images Changes in blood platelets triggered by COVID-19 could contribute ...
