esearchers from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, together with a research group from the Hannover Medical School, have developed a laboratory model based on lentiviral gene transfer in which therapeutic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have already successfully coaxed stem cells into becoming red blood cells, which could be used to create "man-made" blood for transfusion. Red blood cells, however, aren't the only ...

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 ...

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

Platelets, or thrombocytes, are small, colourless cell fragments in your blood. The bone marrow contains stem cells that develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is necessary ...

Thrombocytes or platelets are colourless blood cells that assist in blood clotting by forming plugs in blood vessel holes. A healthy person has between 150,000 to 400,000 platelets per microlitre of ...

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 ...
