  • We previously demonstrated that human platelets activated with SFLLRN release PAR-1 activation peptide, PAR-1-(1-41), even in the presence of hirudin. (mcmaster.ca)
  • While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this respect. (lu.se)
  • Twenty-six isolates of the four most common species and subspecies of SBSEC identified in bacteremia were collected, and interactions with platelets were investigated in platelet rich plasma (PRP) from three donors. (lu.se)
  • To study platelet interactions in vivo in mice we used fluorescent intravital microscopy. (avhandlingar.se)
  • Furthermore, in a moue model of arterial inflammation we found that P-selectin is responsible for a significant part of the platelet-leukocyte interactions. (avhandlingar.se)
  • Few studies have addressed the effects of classical anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids on platelet function. (ashpublications.org)
  • Despite their extensive use in cardiovascular and immune pathologies, glucocorticoids have been reported to be largely inactive on platelet function. (ashpublications.org)
  • 4 Similarly, conventional clinical doses of prednisone do not impair platelet function or enhance primary hemostasis in healthy subjects, as measured by the bleeding time. (ashpublications.org)
  • An important way of regulation is provided by proteolytic cleavage of several of these receptors, leading to either a gain or a loss of platelet function. (frontiersin.org)
  • Although these platelet activation processes are relatively well-studied as a function of the platelet environment, only since recently it is becoming clear that a multitude of proteases present in plasma or produced by platelets themselves are important for the distinct properties of platelet populations, often by cleaving specific receptors.
