Summary: Fucosylated glycosaminoglycan (FG) extracted from sea cucumbers has anticoagulant effects, but also carries risks of platelet aggregation and activation. Research found that the impact of FG on human platelet aggregation depends on its sulfation pattern and molecular weight; TaFG induced platelet aggregation mediated by PI3K requires platelet secretion for amplification.

Summary: A comprehensive analysis showed that beta-oxidation of fatty acids is crucial for maintaining ATP levels and plays a critical role in activated platelet responses. Therefore, targeting fatty acid oxidation may be a promising strategy for developing novel antiplatelet agents.

Summary: Lyophilized platelets, as a potential hemostatic agent, have long-term ambient storage capabilities and high biocompatibility, which make them a promising platform for drug delivery. The interactions between lyophilized platelets and fresh platelets have paradoxical effects on platelet adhesion and aggregation, which could have an impact for clinical applications.

Summary: Platelets are essential for maintaining haemostasis and are also important for promoting inflammation during the immune response. Their activation can lead to inappropriate inflammation in various disease conditions. The pathways of platelet activation differ between inflammation and haemostasis.

Summary: In addition to their role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets also play a role in modulating inflammatory reactions and immune responses. Circulating platelets can differ within an individual due to their different physical properties and can be categorized into distinct subtypes based on their function or age. Understanding platelet phenotypic variation is important in various physiological and pathological circumstances.

Summary: In this study, the role of epinephrine in the generation of procoagulant platelets was investigated. Epinephrine was found to increase platelet aggregation induced by all agonist combinations tested while dose-dependently reducing the formation of procoagulant COAT platelets. The addition of increasing concentrations of epinephrine modulated platelet response by reducing cytosolic calcium mobilization, decreasing procoagulant activity, and enhancing platelet aggregation when platelets were activated with CVX and THR.

Summary: The lipid composition of platelets plays a critical role in their function, including the balance between thrombosis and hemostasis. Platelets can also interact with inflammatory cells through the release of lipids. Imbalances in platelet lipid homeostasis are associated with thrombo-inflammatory diseases. Quantitative platelet lipidomic analysis provides an opportunity to enhance our understanding of the role of platelet lipids in thrombo-inflammation and vice versa.

Summary: Platelets play a crucial role in hemostasis and thrombosis, but they are also involved in various physiological and pathological processes, including infection. They are among the first responders recruited to sites of inflammation and infection, actively cooperating with the immune system to exert their antimicrobial response.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer patients are at a higher risk of venous thrombosis, with platelets playing a key role in clot formation. The combination of tissue factor-induced thrombin formation by cancer cells and their binding to platelet P-selectin is responsible for platelet activation in AsPC-1 and Capan-2 pancreatic cancer cells. Simultaneously blocking both pathways with heparin may be an effective approach to reducing hypercoagulability in these patients.

Summary: This international study evaluated the impact of activators on light transmission aggregation (LTA) and found that they have a significant effect on the reproducibility of LTA results. The study results showed significant concentration differences and interindividual variability for certain activators, therefore caution is needed when interpreting results before reporting them as abnormal. The establishment and adoption of simple standardization principles can help mitigate variability caused by activator sources.

Summary: The study revealed that the lack of functional platelet GPIb alpha enhances radiation toxicity, leading to higher radiation lethality and more severe inflammatory response, as well as exacerbating intestinal damage. These findings suggest that GPIb alpha-mediated interactions play a crucial role in limiting radiation injury.

Summary: Platelet extravasation during inflammation is influenced by CD18, PMNs, and mast cell degranulation. Injured corneas with deficiencies in CD18 or mast cells show reduced platelet and RBC extravasation, highlighting the importance of these factors in the process.
