Intravital microscopy image from the liver of a mouse model: a platelet (turquoise) adheres to the inflamed vessel wall (yellow dashed outline) and sheds a long, filamentous membrane extension—a ...

Randomized trials of platelet function and genetic testing to guide antiplatelet decisions following PCI have produced notoriously mixed results: now, an updated consensus document aims to fill some ...

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 ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology with a study published in Science. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only ...
