Glycoprotein Ibα and FcγRIIa play key roles in platelet activation by the colonizing bacterium, Streptococcus oralis. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 11(5), 941-950. https://doi.org/10.1111/jth.12175

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is characterized by thrombus formation on a cardiac valve. The oral bacterium, Streptococcus oralis, is recognized for its ability to colonize damaged heart valves and is frequently isolated from patients with...

A Method for Positive and Negative Selection of Plasmodium falciparum Platelet-Mediated Clumping Parasites and Investigation of the Role of CD36 (2013)
Journal Article
Arman, M., Adams, Y., Lindergard, G., & Rowe, J. A. (2013). A Method for Positive and Negative Selection of Plasmodium falciparum Platelet-Mediated Clumping Parasites and Investigation of the Role of CD36. PLoS ONE, 8(2), Article e55453. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0055453

Platelet-mediated clumping of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes (IEs) is a frequently observed parasite adhesion phenotype. The importance of clumping in severe malaria and the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon are incompletely un...
