As a graduate student studying molecular cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic/Case Western Reserve University, John Hwa, MD, Ph.D., professor of medicine (cardiovascular medicine), found himself in an ...

Without platelets, we would die pretty easily. The microscopic plate-shaped structures in our bloodstream rush to the site of an injury, forming clots that stop blood loss and help stimulate the ...

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 ...

Platelets are tiny cell fragments in your blood that help form clots and stop bleeding. Nearly 50% of donated platelets go to cancer patients. With a shelf life of only five days, hospitals rely on a ...

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 ...

Proteogenomic detection of circulating biomarkers for clinical oncology. Comparative oncology analysis using genomic profiling of canine cancers by tissue and liquid biopsy testing reveals actionable ...

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 ...

Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's investigators have advanced our understanding of the role that blood platelets play in Kawasaki disease, a serious illness that primarily affects children younger than 5 ...

Researchers have identified the molecular mechanism behind vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, or VITT, a rare clotting disorder that emerged in a small number of people who received ...
