Platelet cAMP signalling controls thrombosis through enhanced embolisation Oct 1, 2015 - Sep 30, 2018
The activation of protein kinase A (PKA) by prostacyclin inhibits platelet activation and therefore modulates arterial thrombosis. However, the role of PKA in controlling the stability of pre-existing thrombi is unclear. The stability of thrombi is r...
