Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes a spectrum of disease; some
patients develop a severe proinflammatory state which can be associated with a unique …

Platelets are most important in providing cellular hemostasis but also take part in
inflammation and immune processes. Increased platelet size has been regarded as a …

Platelets rapidly undergo responsive transitions in form and function to repair vascular
endothelium and mediate hemostasis. In contrast, heterogeneous platelet subpopulations …

Platelets are small anucleate blood cells that play vital roles in haemostasis and thrombosis,
besides other physiological and pathophysiological processes. These roles are tightly …

Background Platelets circulate in the blood of healthy individuals for approximately 7–10
days regulated by finely balanced processes of production and destruction. As platelets are …

COVID-19 infection has protean systemic manifestations. Experience from previous
coronavirus outbreaks, including the current SARS-CoV-2, has shown an augmented risk of …

Platelet ageing is an area of research which has gained much interest in recent years.
Newly formed platelets, often referred to as reticulated platelets, young platelets or immature …

Defined as an index of platelet size heterogeneity, the platelet distribution width (PDW) is
still a poorly characterized marker of platelet function in (sub) clinical disease. We presently …

Coronavirus disease 2019 is characterized by its severe respiratory effects. Data early on
indicated an increased risk of mortality in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Early …

Introduction Platelets are not only involved in hemostasis and coagulation, but play a
significant role in innate immunity and inflammatory response. Excess production of …
