Alternative Methods for the Detection of Superoxide Anion Generation in Platelets

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly unstable oxygen-containing molecules. Their chemical instability makes them extremely reactive and gives them the ...

Platelets contain high levels of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides and have been suggested to participate in the deposition of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Human platelets release amyloid peptides β and β in response to haemostatic, immune, and hypoxic stimuli.

Despite advances in cardiovascular medicine, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of mortality. Among the pathophysiological features of this condition, platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) require further attention, either as diagnostic/prognostic disease markers or as potential interventional targets.
