Platelets are chief cells in hemostasis. Apart from their hemostatic roles, platelets are major
inflammatory effector cells that can influence both innate and adaptive immune responses …

Platelets are essential effector cells in hemostasis. Aside from their role in coagulation,
platelets are now recognized as major inflammatory cells with key roles in the innate and …

HIV infection has transitioned from an acute, fatal disease to a chronic one managed by
antiretroviral therapy. Thus, the aging population of people living with HIV (PLWH) continues …

Background: Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) promotes regeneration of bone, presumably
through the action of concentrated growth factors. However, it is not clear how PRP affects …

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in people
living with HIV. Several epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of myocardial …

The activation of coagulation, angiogenesis and inflammatory cytokines are considered to
be related with tumour growth and metastasis. We investigated the plasma levels of platelet …

Platelets can bind and phagocytose infectious microorganisms and so enable their transport
for a prolonged time. To investigate the subcellular events of these interactions, platelets …

Blood platelets play critical roles in hemostasis, providing rapid essential protection against
bleeding and catalyzing the important slower formation of stable blood clots via the …

Background—The CD40 ligand (CD40L) on activated T cells and platelets may be activating
matrix metalloproteinases, inducing procoagulant activity, and be involved in the …

Systemic immune activation is a striking consequence of HIV‐1 infection. Even in
virologically suppressed patients, some hyperactivity of the immune system and even of the …
