Contribution of platelets to tumour metastasis.
TLDR
Contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.Abstract:
Experimental evidence suggests that platelets contribute to metastasis through adhesive and haemostatic functions that promote cancer cell survival, immune evasion and interactions with vascular cells to assist organ colonization from the bloodstream. Extensive experimental evidence shows that platelets support tumour metastasis. The activation of platelets and the coagulation system have a crucial role in the progression of cancer. Within the circulatory system, platelets guard tumour cells from immune elimination and promote their arrest at the endothelium, supporting the establishment of secondary lesions. These contributions of platelets to tumour cell survival and spread suggest platelets as a new avenue for therapy.read more

Platelet ATP, Thyroid Hormone Receptor on Integrin αvβ3 and Cancer Metastasis
TL;DR: By a variety of molecular mechanisms reviewed here, extracellular ATP promotes tumor cell invasiveness and metastasis and supports a role for T4 as a pro-metastatic factor.

TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive proteomic study on serum proteome alterations at subtype level which will not only help to distinguish subtype of breast cancer but also contribute to a better understanding of the molecular characteristic of Breast cancer at individual sub type level.

TL;DR: Preoperative PLR may be used as a prognostic marker in CPC patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC and could be useful in the preoperative setting when selecting patients for surgery, indicating that CRS may not be superior to systemic chemotherapy in this subset of patients.

Interaction of Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete, with human platelets
TL;DR: Insight is provided into host cell interactions at play during T. pallidum infection and it is suggested that the bacterium may exploit platelet function to aid in establishment of disseminated infection.
