Researchers have identified serine threonine kinase 10 as a key regulator of platelet function, haemostasis and ...

Researchers who identified a novel mechanism for platelet activation in pathogenic blood clotting (thrombosis) are now turning their attention to sepsis. Researchers from the University of Birmingham, ...

Megakaryocytes, which are derived from hematopoietic stem cell precursors in bone marrow, form and release platelets; these circulate in the blood for 8 to 10 days before they are removed by hepatic ...

A novel technique to test platelet function within a person’s blood sample is faster, easier and more precise than methods currently in use, an experimental study shows. Nature Biomedical Engineering ...

Platelets are small types of blood cells that prevent excessive bleeding. It’s possible to develop low or high platelet counts related to a number of health conditions. Platelets are one of the main ...

Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare blood clotting disorder. It’s caused by genetic mutations that affect your platelets, and it can make you more prone to excess bleeding. Chances are, you don’t ...

Because leukemia is a blood cancer, it can affect a person’s platelet count. People with leukemia sometimes have a low platelet count. However, other conditions can also cause low platelets. Leukemia ...

A typical platelet count range can change with age. Platelet counts may fluctuate due to natural vascular aging, changes in bone marrow tissue, and altered blood plasma makeup. Platelets, or ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, who identified a novel mechanism for platelet activation in pathogenic blood clotting (thrombosis) are now turning their attention to sepsis.
