Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the 2 leading causes of death worldwide. Emerging
evidence suggests common mechanisms between cancer and cardiovascular disease …

Myeloproliferative neoplasms are associated with increased risk for thrombotic
complications. These conditions most commonly involve somatic mutations in genes that …

Importance Increasing evidence supports the role of red blood cells (RBCs) in physiological
hemostasis and pathologic thrombosis. Red blood cells are commonly transfused in the …

Most biomedical textbooks teach that coagulation and thrombosis are primarily a function of
endothelial cells, platelets, and soluble coagulation factors. Red blood cells, in contrast, are …

Objective—Although erythrocytes have been suggested to play a role in blood clotting,
mediated through phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and/or PS-bearing microvesicle …

Red blood cells (RBCs) influence rheology, and release ADP, ATP, and nitric oxide,
suggesting a role for RBCs in hemostasis and thrombosis. Here, we provide evidence for a …

Thrombophilia, which severely impacts on morbidity and mortality of polycythaemia vera and
essential thrombocythaemia, is variably characterized by microcirculatory disturbances …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the significance of low hemoglobin concentration and longevity
in older people. DESIGN: Randomized prospective study. SETTING: Nursing home and …

The role of erythrocytes in thrombus formation has previously been regarded as passive by
their influence on rheology. Erythrocytes are known, due to their abundance and size, to …

Platelets are crucial in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome. Treatment for acute
coronary syndrome usually involves antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and antithrombotic therapy …
