Journal ArticleDOI

A novel Syk-dependent mechanism of platelet activation by the C-type lectin receptor CLEC-2

TL;DR: Findings define a novel signaling pathway in platelets whereby activation of CLEC-2 by rhodocytin leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of its cytosolic tail, binding of Syk and initiation of downstream tyrosination events, and activation of PLCgamma2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of the snake toxin receptor CLEC-2, in podoplanin-mediated platelet activation, by cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CLEC-2 is a physiological target protein of podoplanin and imply that it is involved in podoplanIn-induced platelet aggregation, tumor metastasis, and other cellular responses related to podoplan in.
Journal Article

Thrombosis: a major contributor to the global disease burden

TL;DR: VTE associated with hospitalization was the leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years lost in low- and middle- income countries, and second in high-income countries, responsible for more disability- adjusted life- years lost than nosocomial pneumonia, catheter-related blood stream infections, and adverse drug events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate, a Bioactive Sphingolipid Abundantly Stored in Platelets, Is a Normal Constituent of Human Plasma and Serum

TL;DR: The release of Sph-1-P from activated platelets may be involved in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes, including thrombosis, hemostasis, atherosclerosis and wound healing.
