Researchers from the University of Tokyo have found a way to observe clotting activity in blood as it happens—without needing invasive procedures. Using a new type of microscope and artificial ...

The most common etiology of pseudothrombocytopenia is platelet clumping induced by EDTA, which is the anticoagulant present in the purple tube in which blood is collected for a CBC. This clumping is ...

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 ...

As people age they become more prone to blood clotting diseases, which can be caused when blood platelets clump together. This clumping can lead to strokes and cardiovascular disease. For decades, ...

Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form blood clots that stop bleeding in injured vessels. Cardiologists have long known that platelets can become "hyperreactive" to cause ...

A simple blood test for platelet activity at middle age could one day help identify people at risk for Alzheimer's disease decades ahead of time, allowing for possible preventive therapy. The ...
