In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether platelet-released exerkines such as C-X-C motif ligand 4 (CXCXL4) or platelet factor 4 (PF4) can simulate the ...

Results: During cycles 1 and 2 of treatment with CG+SU5416, a significant cycle-dependent activation of both the coagulation cascade and endothelial cells occurred, whereas platelet counts decreased.

AUGUST 15, 2025, NEW YORK – Platelets are probably best known for their role in blood clotting, making scabs and related, if less salubrious, contributions to heart attacks and strokes. But these tiny ...

Study finds that a high-fat diet boosts platelet activation and tumor cell homing—effects reversible with diet change or platelet depletion. Study: The Impact of a High -Fat Diet and Platelet ...

The impact of nephrectomy on the clinical outcomes of first-line immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors combinations versus sunitinib in advanced renal cell carcinoma: A meta-analysis of ...

Next to other complications, cirrhosis is also linked to abnormalities in haemostasis. However, the role of alterations in platelet function had previously been insufficiently investigated. Now, ...

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 ...
