When cancer cells and platelets mix, the risk of metastasis and cancer-related deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) increases, but a small, proof-of-concept study suggests that the ...

Chicago, IL - Researchers at the University of Illinois say they have uncovered a mechanism of platelet activation that overturns a decades-old assumption and may explain why a small proportion of men ...

A new study created a score to identify patients with platelet hyperreactivity and risk of related, future cardiovascular disease. Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form ...
