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. Clinical Pharmacogenetics of Olanzapine : with Focus on FMO Gene Polymorphisms
Abstract : Pharmacogenetics is the study of variability in drug response attributed to genetic variation. Olanzapine (OLA) is a widely used antipsychotic drug for schizophrenia treatment. The pharmacokinetics of OLA display large inter-individual variation leading to multiple-fold differences in drug exposure between patients at a given dose. READ MORE

It is thereby important to identify new mechanisms that can stimulate the process of atherosclerosis. READ MORE
