A Shanghai-based expatriate blood donation organization was among local individuals, organizations and facilities honored for promoting and organizing platelet donation. Ashish Maskay, a Nepalese ...

Mounting evidence indicates that nuclear receptors play a critical regulatory role in platelet pathophysiology and thrombotic disorders. Although NR4A (the nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A) plays ...

During fibrosis, (myo)fibroblasts deposit large amounts of extracellular matrix proteins, thereby replacing healthy functional tissue. In liver fibrosis, this leads to the loss of hepatocyte function, ...

A blood clot is a gel-like mass of blood that can form as a natural part of wound healing. But blood clots that occur within arteries or veins can be dangerous and even life-threatening if they block ...

The study conducted by Fang et al. offers significant and fundamental insights, notably enhancing our understanding of angiogenesis. While some of the claims are supported by convincing experimental ...

Vascular endothelial cells (vECs) in the brain exhibit structural and functional heterogeneity. Fenestrated, permeable brain vasculature mediates neuroendocrine function, body-fluid regulation, and ...

Platelets, small anucleate cells circulating in the blood, are critical mediators in haemostasis and thrombosis. Interestingly, recent studies demonstrated that platelets contain both pro-inflammatory ...
