Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is prepared from whole blood without any exogenous coagulation factors. Several preparation methods have now been introduced, particularly with differences in centrifugation parameters including g-force and time to improve their regenerative potential. Nevertheless, the centrifugation systems have not yet been clearly inv...

Platelets have a well-recognized role in hemostasis and thrombosis, and they are important amplifiers of inflammation and innate immune responses. The formation of DNA extracellular traps (ETs) is a complex cellular mechanism, which occurs in response to microbial infections and sterile inflammation, and results in the release of DNA complexed with...

Platelets are damage sentinels of the intravascular compartment, initiating and coordinating the primary response to tissue injury. Severe trauma and hemorrhage induce profound alterations in platelet behavior. During the acute post-injury phase, platelets develop a state of impaired ex vivo agonist responsiveness independent of platelet count, ass...

A unique feature of the flow-diverting stent (FDS) has rendered it useful in the endovascular treatment of selected intracranial aneurysms for the last decade. Delayed aneurysmal rupture and intracranial parenchymal bleeding are two leading hemorrhagic complications after FDS. It has recently been shown for the first time that there is a relationsh...

The structure of stroke thrombi has gained an increasing amount of interest in recent years. The advent of endovascular thrombectomy has offered the unique opportunity to provide and analyze thrombi removed from ischemic stroke patients. It has become clear that the composition of ischemic stroke thrombi is relatively heterogenous and various molec...

Mutations in the calcium channel gene Transient Receptor Potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 (TRPV4) cause autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, with phenotypes ranging from mild to perinatal lethality. A recent report detailed enhanced proplatelet formation and increased murine platelet count in the context of TRPV4 activation. No prior...

The extent of the involvement of platelets in venous thromboembolisms (VTE) is still not fully understood. Immature platelets are large, RNA-rich, prothrombotic platelets. They are involved in arterial thromboembolisms and are associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Their role in VTE has not been investigated before. The aim of this study wa...

The immune system is comprised of two principal interconnected components called innate and adaptive immunity. While the innate immune system mounts a nonspecific response that provides protection against the spread of foreign pathogens, the adaptive immune system has developed to specifically recognize a given pathogen and lead to immunological me...

Objective: High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) predicts adverse events in coronary artery disease patients. In peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients, data concerning the clinical impact of HTPR are limited. Therefore, we evaluated the incidence of (i) HTPR to DAPT and (ii) its impact on 6 months outco...

C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) is considered as a potential drug target in settings of wound healing, inflammation, and infection. A potential barrier to this is evidence that CLEC-2 and its ligand podoplanin play a critical role in preventing lymphatic vessel blood filling in mice throughout life. In this study, this aspect of CLEC-2/podop...
