Platelets are anucleate cells produced by megakaryocytes. In recent years, a robust body of
literature supports the evolving role of platelets as key sentinel and effector cells in infectious …

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 …

The pathophysiology of COVID-19–associated thrombosis seems to be multifactorial. We
hypothesized that COVID-19 is accompanied by procoagulant platelets with subsequent …

Classically, platelets have been described as the cellular blood component that mediates
hemostasis and thrombosis. This important platelet function has received significant …

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected over 30 million globally to date …

Despite their small size and anucleate status, platelets have diverse roles in vascular
biology. Not only are platelets the cellular mediator of thrombosis, but platelets are also …

Influenza infection increases the incidence of myocardial infarction but the reason is
unknown. Platelets mediate vascular occlusion through thrombotic functions but are also …

Platelets are anucleate blood cells that play a crucial role in the maintenance of hemostasis.
While platelet activation and elevated platelet counts (thrombocytosis) are associated with …

Platelet-leukocyte interactions amplify inflammatory reactions, but the underlying
mechanism is still unclear. CLEC5A and CLEC2 are spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk)-coupled C …

COVID-19 is characterized by dysregulated thrombosis and coagulation that can increase
mortality in patients. Platelets are fast responders to pathogen presence, alerting the …
