Increased platelet reactivity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is mediated by a plasma factor (2014)
Journal Article
Crooks, M. G., Fahim, A., Naseem, K. M., Morice, A. H., & Hart, S. P. (2014). Increased platelet reactivity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is mediated by a plasma factor. PLoS ONE, 9(10), Article ARTN e111347. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0111347

Introduction Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, incurable fibrotic interstitial lung disease with a prognosis worse than many cancers. Its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Activated platelets can release pro-fibrotic mediators th... Read More about Increased platelet reactivity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is mediated by a plasma factor.

Phosphoproteomic analysis of platelet signalling cascades by flow cytometry (2014)
Thesis
Spurgeon, B. E. J. (2014). Phosphoproteomic analysis of platelet signalling cascades by flow cytometry. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216373

The activation of blood platelets is a critical haemostatic response that serves to prevent haemorrhage, but unregulated platelet activation is associated with arterial thrombosis. Endothelial-derived inhibitors prostacyclin (PGI₂) and nitric oxide (... Read More about Phosphoproteomic analysis of platelet signalling cascades by flow cytometry.

Multiplexed phosphospecific flow cytometry enables large-scale signaling profiling and drug screening in blood platelets (2014)
Journal Article
Spurgeon, B. E., Aburima, A., Oberprieler, N. G., Taskén, K., & Naseem, K. M. (2014). Multiplexed phosphospecific flow cytometry enables large-scale signaling profiling and drug screening in blood platelets. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 12(10), 1733-1743. https://doi.org/10.1111/jth.12670

Background: Dissecting the signaling events that contribute to platelet activation will increase our understanding of platelet function and aid in the development of new antiplatelet agents. However, high-throughput methodology for the quantitative a...

The role of glucocorticoids in platelet function (2014)
Thesis
Banerjee, S. (2014). The role of glucocorticoids in platelet function. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216471

Platelets are pivotal in regulating haemostasis, but can precipitate atherothrombosis associated to cardiovascular diseases. The synthetic glucocorticoid prednisolone is widely used as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drug. Previously it wa... Read More about The role of glucocorticoids in platelet function.

Acute hypertriglyceridemia induces platelet hyperactivity that is not attenuated by insulin in polycystic ovary syndrome. (2014)
Journal Article
Aye, M. M., Kilpatrick, E. S., Aburima, A., Wraith, K. S., Magwenzi, S., Spurgeon, B., …Atkin, S. L. (2014). Acute hypertriglyceridemia induces platelet hyperactivity that is not attenuated by insulin in polycystic ovary syndrome. Journal of the American Heart Association, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.113.000706

Atherothrombosis is associated with platelet hyperactivity. Hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance (IR) are features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The effect of induced hypertriglyceridemia on IR and platelet function was examined in youn...
