1. Platelets : intracellular signalling and cellular interaction
Abstract : Activation of platelets is essential to prevent excessive blood loss at the site of vascular injury. These highly reactive cell fragments are also involved in several pathological conditions, in particular arterial thrombosis, which, in the coronary vessels, can lead to reduced blood flow, vessel occlusion and myocardial infarction.

2. Crosstalk Between Activated Platelets and the Complement System
Abstract : Several studies have shown that complement and thrombotic events co-exist. Platelets have been suspected to act as the bridge between the two cascade systems. READ MORE

3. Platelet activation and tissue factor release in hemolytic uremic syndrome
Abstract : Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. There are two subtypes: typical HUS associated with enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and atypical HUS associated with uninhibited activation of the alternative pathway of complement. READ MORE

4. The Plasma Contact System : New Functional Insights from a Hemostatic and Thrombotic Perspective
Abstract : The physiological role of the plasma contact system still remains a partial enigma. The aim of the presented work was to expand our understanding of the plasma contact system, focusing on its physiological activation and function, principally from a hemostatic perspective. It also explored contact system activation under pathological conditions. READ MORE

5. Novel Agonists and Antagonists of Platelet Receptors
Abstract : Platelets are central for the primary haemostatis. The platelet has surface bound receptors that are vital for the platelet activation. READ MORE
