  • Platelets are also very important in maintaining this barrier function. (cdc.gov)
  • As you know, I think the most famous part about platelet function is the ability of your blood to clot. (cdc.gov)
  • Well, platelets have that function as well as many other functions to maintain that blood vessel system. (cdc.gov)
  • Biochemical analysis revealed that platelet CD69 appears on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a broad 55-65-kD band, in which three 55-, 60-, and 65-kD components were detectable when nonreduced, and as two 28- and 32-kD bands when reduced, corresponding to the two disulfide-linked chains of the dimer. (nih.gov)
  • Although these drugs inhibit the biochemical activation of platelets, they may not block the platelet biomechanical signaling pathways. (edu.au)
  • Recent our study also found that the transcription factor, NF-B, is present in platelets (anucleated cells) (Fig.5), it can translocate from the cytosol into mitochondria (Fig.6), and binding to the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). (tmu.edu.tw)
  • Activation of CD47 with TSP-1 increases proliferation of human U87 and U373 astrocytoma cells but not normal astrocytes . (wikidoc.org)
  • Activation of CD47 with TSP-1 in wild-type cells inhibits proliferation and reduces expression of stem cell transcription factors. (wikidoc.org)
  • Electron microscopic observation and LC-MS/MS analysis of our preliminary study revealed that GABA is abundantly distributed in the cytoplasm of resting platelets (Fig.3) and it levels in platelets is about 1.03 ng/106 cells (Fig.4), respectively. (tmu.edu.tw)
  • Of note, independently of IBS, we showed that the level of spontaneous P-selectin expression on platelets kept in their storage milieu resulted in approximately 30% positive cells at Day 1.5, which is the lowest amount reported by others. (haematologica.org)
  • In ITP, for example, his laboratory is interested in how platelet antigens are processed and presented by antigen-presenting cells to activate T lymphocytes. (lu.se)
  • Specific Aim 1 (1st year): To further quantify the levels of GABA by LC-MS/MS and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and elucidate their specific localization (i.e.,  granules, dense granules or open canalicular system) in platelets by transmission electron microscope. (tmu.edu.tw)
  • PRP acts by accelerating the process of tissue healing through releasing growth factors inside platelet α-granules 21 . (bvsalud.org)
  • For example, in conditions like immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or chemotherapy, where platelet destruction or suppression occurs, MPV levels may increase. (eoceanofgames.com)
  • It can lead to blindness or life-threatening complications such as strokes and blood clotting if the central nervous system or major blood vessels become affected. (qmul.ac.uk)
  • So, the endothelium is the barrier that lines our blood vessels and has very important functions. (cdc.gov)
  • COVID-19 is associated with thromboembolic events where platelet activation and interaction with leukocytes may play an important role. (lu.se)
