Platelets are the smallest blood cells, numbering 150 to 350× 10 9/L in healthy individuals.
The ability of activated platelets to adhere to an injured vessel wall and form aggregates was …

Platelets in a thrombus interact with (anti) coagulation factors and support blood
coagulation. In the concept of cell‐based control of coagulation, three different roles of …

Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) plays an important role in the regulation of vascular function.
Identifying the mechanisms of VSM contraction has been a major research goal in order to …

Platelets are small, anucleate circulating cells that possess a dynamic repertoire of functions
spanning the hemostatic, inflammatory, and immune continuum. Once thought to be merely …

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 is a Ser/Thr kinase, tonically active in resting cells but inhibited
by phosphorylation of an N-terminal Ser residue (Ser 21 in GSK3α and Ser 9 in GSK3β) in …

Custom-made and commercial parallel-plate flow chambers are widely used for studies of
platelet activation and thrombus formation in whole blood at defined shear rates. When used …

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) enhances platelet activation by virtually any other stimulant
to complete aggregation. It binds specifically to the G-protein–coupled membrane receptors …

Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) plays an important role in maintaining vascular tone. In
addition to Ca 2+-dependent myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, protein kinase C …

Aggregation of platelets via activated integrin α IIb β 3 is a prerequisite for thrombus
formation. Phosphatidylserine-exposing platelets with a key role in the coagulation process …

This study investigated the effects of glycinin on the growth, intestinal oxidative status, tight
junction components, cytokines and apoptosis signalling factors of fish. The results showed …
