Is the PEGylation of indium phosphide/zinc sulphide quantum dots the first step in creating a platelet biocompatible multimodal imaging agent? (2024)
Thesis
Booth, Z. Is the PEGylation of indium phosphide/zinc sulphide quantum dots the first step in creating a platelet biocompatible multimodal imaging agent?. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4790560

Background:
Indium phosphide/zinc sulphide (InP/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductive nanoparticles that have received growing focus due to the perception that they are safer than heavy metal based QDs. InP/ZnS QDs possess a highly fluorescent...

An investigation into the effect of oxLDL and cyclic nucleotides on platelet cytoskeletal function (2020)
Thesis
Ahmed, Y. An investigation into the effect of oxLDL and cyclic nucleotides on platelet cytoskeletal function. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, The University of Hull and The University of York. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4200904

Atherosclerosis is a major underlying cause in cardiovascular disease and a significant health concern in developed countries. Part of the mechanism by which platelets are linked to this process is via their activation by oxidised Low-Density Lipopro...

Cyclic adenosine monophsphoate (cAMP) signalling is thought to regulate inositol-1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP₃)-mediated calcium (Ca²⁺) mobilisation in platelets through protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation, leading to inhibition of inositol-1,...

cAMP signaling reverses platelet spreading via inhibition of RhoA (2016)
Thesis
Yusuf, M. Z. cAMP signaling reverses platelet spreading via inhibition of RhoA. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218863

Prostacyclin (PGI₂) is a key regulator of platelet function. There is a significant field of research which outlines the role of PGI₂ in inhibiting platelets in circulation, and therefore playing a major role in the prevention of excessive thrombus f...
