Activated platelets show shortened survival and are targets of phagocytic clearance; Bacterial compounds induce apoptosis and cytotoxic effects in platelets. Both main mechanisms can complement ...

Platelets are a potent source of growth factors ... but may include reversion to a quiescent phenotype and/or selective clearance by apoptosis. (Reprinted with permission from Friedman SL.

Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the platelet surface, as an activatation and apoptosis marker, was measured by annexin V binding. Briefly, the platelets from each group were diluted to 1 x 10 6 ...

Apoptosis and autophagy constitute the two self-destructive processes by which supernumerary, damaged or aged cells and organelles are eliminated. Beyond this homeostatic function, autophagy is ...

Studies have revealed that onion can effectively improve lipid profile and inhibit platelet aggregation, attenuating the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. The methanol extract, quercetin, and ...

AIMS To test the hypothesis that HSC apoptosis is critical to recovery from biliary fibrosis and that soluble growth factors may regulate HSC survival and apoptosis. RESULTS Following biliodigestive ...

The central role of the control of apoptosis in the pathophysiology of Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms has recently been reinforced in genetic and pharmacological studies ...

Plasma was isolated from the blood by centrifugation at 1,500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C to remove blood cells, and the supernatant was centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C to remove platelets and ...
