Platelets are key players in metastasis as well. Check out Shu et al.'s recent open-access publication (2024) to learn more about the role of Glycan-Lectin interactions between platelets and tumor cells and their role in driving hematogenous metastasis. doi.org/10.1080/095371…

Microfluidic technology is used to study the mechanism of thrombosis. Lin et al. (2024) discussed different types of microfluidic models for studying thrombosis and the advances towards personalized thrombosis treatments. Check out their review here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Exciting work from Reusswig, et al.(2024) provides evidence that modulation of the bile acid receptor TGR5 is a potential target for both antiplatelet therapy in cardiovascular diseases and the restoration of hemostasis upon liver injury. Read more here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New publication! 🆕🎉 Yu et al. (2025) show that elevated miR-28-5p in ITP patients correlates with complete, early treatment response. Upregulating miR-28-5p impairs Rap1b, reducing splenic B-cell infiltration. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4xfzw5zb #platelets #ITP #miRNA #Rap1b

New publication! 🆕🎉 Chen et al. (2025) retrospectively demonstrated that MPV & P-LCR are elevated in IMT patients vs. AT & healthy individuals, potentially aiding early diagnosis & treatment of IMT. 🔗 tinyurl.com/bddxwdz3 #platelets #thrombocytopenia #IMT #AT #MPV

New publication! 🆕🎉 Still using thiazole orange to ID reticulated platelets in mouse blood? Hamad et al. (2025) present a novel & reproducible FC method using SYTO 13—no harsh washes, minimal activation. 🔗 tinyurl.com/ekemunrj #platelets #flowcytometry #SYTO13

New case study! 🆕🎉 Aktekin et al. (2025) describe a patient with acute, ITP-like bleeding episodes, in whom whole-exome sequencing revealed a hemizygous GATA1 variant and a homozygous ATP2A1 variant. 🔗tinyurl.com/bd459ep4 #platelets #GATA1 #ITP #ATP2A1

New publication! 🆕🎉 Losing your hair over platelet research? Wang et al. (2025) recent study describing how platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) promote hair follicle growth in mice. 🔗tinyurl.com/5994n4d7u #platelets #EVs #hairloss

New publication! 🆕🎉 Should dual (DAT) or triple antiplatelet therapy (TAT) be used post-PCI in AF? Sammut et al. (2025) propose DAT as an effective, but safer alternative, by sparing COX-1-mediated activation. 🔗tinyurl.com/ms2fnxmh #platelets #DAT #TAT
