Despite being acaryote cell fragments, platelets share a number of properties ... They sense pathogens by various surface receptors, attach to them and become activated, thereby releasing the ...

Agonists that extend formation of the platelet plug generally bind to G protein-coupled receptors on the platelet surface. Dr. Woulfe's previous studies have focused on how platelets become activated ...

Platelet activation is a complex and dynamic process, involving the co-ordination of numerous receptors to initiate shape change and aggregation. Under pathological conditions, alterations in the ...

Actively growing tumor cells have platelet receptors on their surface. These include circulating cancer cells, shed by the tumor, which may lead to metastasis. Activated platelets bind to these ...
