Together with researchers from University of Oxford, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that a subclass of stem cells that are dedicated to the production of platelets replenish ...

Cancer researchers report that blood platelets blunt the immune response to cancer. Genetic inactivation of platelets improved the ability of T cells to fight melanoma in preclinical tests. Adoptive T ...

Future Microbiol. 2013;8(11):1431-1451. Platelet GPIIIa, and even the same epitope within this surface protein, are also targets of autoantibodies, which are generated in HIV-infected patients.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Scientists have for the first time created blood platelet cells by reprogramming stem cells derived from adult cells, offering the potential for a renewable supply of the fragile ...

When a vascular injury occurs, platelets in young mice form much smaller blood clots (left) than platelets in old mice (right), where the clot almost blocks the blood vessel. Fluorescence microscopy ...

PlateletBio, a company developing a new class of cell therapies based on the biology of platelets, has raised $75.5 million to advance its drug pipeline, including a lead candidate for a rare bleeding ...

Researchers have used bioengineering to fuse a blood stem cell to platelets carrying an immunotherapy drug with the hope that it could improve the prognosis of some types of leukemia. The study ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only a key molecule in blood clotting, ...

Although cardiac stem cell therapy is a promising treatment for heart attack patients, directing the cells to the site of an injury – and getting them to stay there – remains challenging. In a new ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with decreased platelet and leukocyte counts among a large ...

Faculty of Medicine scientists have created a "Franken-platelet" - a supercharged blood cell - that might be capable of healing major wounds, busting clots or blocking inflammation. Named for their ...

Platelets promote immune tolerance to certain cancers by suppressing T cells and adoptive T cell therapy may be enhanced by adding antiplatelet drugs, report researchers at the Medical University of ...
