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 ...

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

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer, and a greater probability for the cancer to spread to other organs. But the causes of this association are still not well ...

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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...
