Intravital microscopy image from the liver of a mouse model: a platelet (turquoise) adheres to the inflamed vessel wall (yellow dashed outline) and sheds a long, filamentous membrane extension—a ...

Researchers from UCL, the National Physical Laboratory and the Royal Free Hospital have differentiated between patients with a rare bleeding disorder and healthy volunteers using super-resolution ...

Researchers have developed a new form of microscopy that allows them to observe the formation and evolution of cell membrane focal adhesions. Focal adhesions are large specialized proteins that are ...

Our bodies comprise different tissues and organs, which are composed of many cells that must adhere to form functional higher order structures. This adherence is facilitated by specialized proteins ...

Research carried out by the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has revealed new information about how blood clots are formed during wound healing. The study “Platelets drive fibronectin ...

Research carried out by RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has revealed new information about how blood clots are formed during wound healing. Platelets are key to initiating wound ...

Severe malaria is characterized by the sequestration of Plasmodium falciparutnr-infected erythrocytes (IBs). Because platelets can affect tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-activated endothelial cells (ECs), ...
