Modulation of platelet function with dietary polyphenols A promising strategy in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
(Teknoscienze Publ, Milano, 2015)
Beyond being central players in haemostasis and thrombosis, platelets have crucial roles in the development of atherosclerosis, mediated through their interactions with monocytes and endothelial cells. Disturbed platelet ...
Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator and the Molecular Mechanisms of its Regulation in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2017)
Background: Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a 53-kDa serine protease initially synthesized as a catalytically inactive single chain polypeptide. Inactive-uPA is subject to proteolytic cleavage, which results ...
Specific Binding of Paraprotein to Platelet Receptors as a Cause of Platelet Dysfunction in Monoclonal Gammopathies
(Karger, Basel, 2013)
The study included 48 untreated patients with monoclonal gammopathies (MG). Paraprotein was isolated from the serum of 10 patients with decreased platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation was measured before and after the ...
Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminoge Interplay in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2018)
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is well recognized as playing a double role in tumor progression. Its antitumor role takes place in the early stages of cancer development, when TGF-beta acts as a repressor of ...

The ability to differentiate into cells of different lineage, such as muscle, bone, cartilage and fat, is the chief value of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which can be used with the final aim to regenerate damaged ...
Changes in cortical excitability during paired associative stimulation in Parkinson's disease patients and healthy subjects
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2017)
Paired associative stimulation (PAS) combines repetitive peripheral nerve stimulation with motor cortex (M1) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to induce plastic-like changes of cortical excitability. While much ...

Epstein-Barr virus infection induces bone resorption in apical periodontitis via increased production of reactive oxygen species
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2016)
Chronic inflammatory processes in periapical tissues caused by etiological agents of endodontic origin lead to apical periodontitis. Apart from bacteria, two herpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Human cytomegalovirus ...
Proliferative characteristics of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms - clinical implications
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
Introduction: Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPN) are characterized by overproduction of one or more blood cell lines. Methods: We studied the proliferative characteristics of 91 patients with de ...
