1. Platelet Adhesion to Proteins in Microplates : Applications in Experimental and Clinical Research
Abstract : Platelets are crucial for prevention of blood loss after vessel injury. Platelet adhesion to disrupted vessel walls is mediated by receptors such as the GPIb-IX-V complex that binds von Willebrand factor and the collagen-binding integrin α2β1. READ MORE

2. Platelet reactions in the non-self recognition of material surfaces
Abstract : Every material introduced into the body in order to function in contact with a living tissue is defined as a biomaterial. Biomaterials are used throughout the world in an increasing rate to replace and augment organ functions. The insertion of an implant into the human body will initiate blood coagulation at the surface of the material. READ MORE

3. Platelet adhesion and P-selectin surface expression
Abstract : Upon injury in a blood vessel, platelets become activated and adbere to prevent blood loss. Activated platelets express adhesion molecules on their surface that also make leukocytes adhere to the injury. One such molecule, which also is expressed on endothelium, is the glycoprotein P-selectin. READ MORE

4. Interactions between whole blood and TiO₂ surfaces with focus on adhesion and activation of PMN granulocytes
Abstract : Foreign materials come in contact with the human body more and more frequently. The surgical procedure of inserting an implant into the body will cause bleeding, evoke an inflammatory response and initiate a healing process, ultimately leading to acceptance or rejection of the material.

5. Platelet-lymphocyte cross-talk in atherogenesis : experimental studies on platelet-regulated lymphocyte adhesion and CD4+ T cell activation
Abstract : Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory and thrombotic disease. Platelets and lymphocytes, especially CD4+ T cells, are indispensable players during the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic lesion formation. During the early stage of atherogenesis, lymphocytes are generally thought to be recruited from arterial blood flow. READ MORE
