Premature babies with low levels of platelets (thrombocytes) in their blood run a greatly increased risk of being afflicted with a severe variation of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), an eye disease ...

Researchers have designed a different approach to the liquid biopsy. Rather than looking for evidence of cancer DNA or other biomarkers in the blood, their test (called thromboSeq) could diagnose ...

Thrombocytopenia means that there aren’t enough platelets in the blood. Platelets (or thrombocytes) are very small cells that help the blood clot and heal the body from injuries. If you have lupus, ...

"Thrombocytes do much more than to stop bleedings and to cause heart attacks," explains Professor Bernhard Nieswandt, Director of the Institute for Experimental Biomedicine, supported by the ...

(from left) Dr. Ibrahim Hawwari, Prof. Bernardo Franklin and Lukas Roßnagel discover new intercellular communication mechanism in which blood platelets, so-called thrombocytes, regulate the function ...

THIS communication describes preliminary results obtained by scanning electron microscopy of platelets and thrombocytes. Human, baboon (Papio cynocephalus), chicken and turkey cells were examined.
