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 …

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is characterized clinically by thrombocytopenia,
hypercoagulability, and increased thrombosis risk, and serologically by platelet-activating …

Platelets are classically known as essential mediators of hemostasis and thrombosis.
However, in recent years, platelets have gained recognition for their inflammatory functions …

Thrombosis that occurs in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a serious complication and
a critical aspect of pathogenesis in the disease progression. Although thrombocytopenia is …

In recent years, various studies have increasingly explained platelet functions not only in
their central role as a regulator in cellular hemostasis and coagulation. In fact, there is …

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 …

Inflammation and coagulation are the critical responses to infection that include leukocytes,
platelets, and vascular endothelial cells responding in concert to eradicate the invading …

Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT; synonym, thrombosis with
thrombocytopenia syndrome, is associated with high-titer immunoglobulin G antibodies …

Platelets are the main players in thrombosis and hemostasis; however they also play
important roles during inflammation and infection. Through their surface receptors, platelets …

Platelets have long been known for their role in hemostasis. In this, platelet adhesion and
activation leads to the formation of a firm thrombus and thus the sealing of a damaged blood …
