Aspirin works through several mechanisms that specifically address the developing crisis during a heart attack: Platelet deactivation occurs immediately as aspirin enters the bloodstream.

In contrast to the aspirin-induced defect, bleeding time was greatly prolonged, platelet adhesiveness was markedly impaired, adhesion of platelets to collagen fibrils was deficient, and ...

Through a mouse study, scientists have found that aspirin may help prevent metastases, or secondary tumors, by boosting the body’s immune response.

But the study showed that another part of our blood - the platelets that normally stop bleeding - were suppressing the T-cells and making it harder for them to take out the cancer. Aspirin ...
