Researchers explore the role of a high-fat diet in promoting the formation of premetastatic niches and platelet activation.

CNIO researchers found that in mice on high-fat diets, cancer cells in the bloodstream use platelets as a protective shield, ...

different signaling molecules were activated depending on the endpoint. Using human platelet-rich plasma, the researchers found that when certain signaling molecules were inhibited, spreading was ...

CNIO researchers discover that, in mice that eat a lot of fat, cancer cells travelling through the blood surround themselves with platelets, which act as an armor-like protection as they spread. In ...

[97–99] There are two main causes for the bacteria-induced thrombocytopenia: Bacteria induce platelet activation. Activated platelets show shortened survival and are targets of phagocytic ...

Other mechanisms include platelet activation with shortening of survival, splenic platelet sequestration and impaired platelet production in the bone marrow. Virus-induced platelet activation and ...

This cutting-edge haemostatic dressing, already boasting three patents (one with DRDO and two solely by IIT Kanpur), is set ...

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer, and a greater probability for the cancer to spread to other organs – ...
