cAMP signaling regulates platelet myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and shape change through targeting the RhoA-Rho kinase-MLC phosphatase signaling pathway (2013)
Journal Article
Aburima, A., Wraith, K. S., Raslan, Z., Law, R., Magwenzi, S., & Naseem, K. M. (2013). cAMP signaling regulates platelet myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and shape change through targeting the RhoA-Rho kinase-MLC phosphatase signaling pathway.

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent signaling modulates platelet shape change through unknown mechanisms. We examined the effects of cAMP signaling on platelet contractile machinery. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)-mediated inhibition of thrombin...

Oxidized low-density lipoproteins induce rapid platelet activation and shape change through tyrosine kinase and Rho kinase–signaling pathways (2013)
Journal Article
Wraith, K. S., Magwenzi, S., Aburima, A., Wen, Y., Leake, D., & Naseem, K. (2013). Oxidized low-density lipoproteins induce rapid platelet activation and shape change through tyrosine kinase and Rho kinase–signaling pathways. Blood, 122(4), 580-589. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2013-04-491688

Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) generated in the hyperlipidemic state may contribute to unregulated platelet activation during thrombosis. Although the ability of oxLDL to activate platelets is established, the underlying signaling mechanis...

Introduction Previous studies investigating cardiovascular (CV) risk in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have been potentially confounded by not adequately accounting for body weight. Objective To assess if PCOS increases CV risk ind... Read More about Polycystic ovary syndrome has no independent effect on vascular, inflammatory or thrombotic markers when matched for obesity.
