Background: Platelet preparations for tissue healing are usually preactivated before application to deliver concentrated growth factors. In this study, the authors investigated the differences between nonactivated and thrombin-activated platelets in wound healing.
Methods: The healing effects (i.e., wound closure, myofibroblast formation, and angiogenesis) of nonactivated and thrombin-activated platelets were compared in experimental wounds in diabetic (db/db) animals. In vitro, fibroblast phenotype and function were tested in response to platelets and activated platelets. No treatment served as a negative control.
Results: Wounds treated with platelets reached 90 percent closure after 15 days, faster than activated platelets (26 days), and with higher levels of myofibroblasts and angiogenesis. In vitro, platelets enhanced cell migration and induced two-fold higher myofibroblast differentiation and contraction compared with activated platelets.
Conclusions: Platelets stimulate wound healing more efficiently compared with activated platelets by enhancing fibroblast differentiation and contractile function. Similar levels of growth factors may induce different biological effects when delivered "on demand" rather than in an initial bolus.

Background: The thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is an important regulator in the balance between blood clot formation (coagulation) and dissolution (fibrinolysis), which is mainly activated by thrombin bonded with thrombomodulin (TM).
Methods: In this study, the investigation focused on the unique target TAFI of fungi fibrinolytic compound 1 (FGFC1), a novel fibrinolytic compound sourced from the deep sea. In this sense, the regulation of TAFI by FGFC1, in comparison to established TAFI inhibitors such as DS-1040 and PCTI in hPPP, was investigated, which was validated through the molecular docking of FGFC1 to TAFI.

This research aims to investigate the impact of Didang decoction (DD) on the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and cancer-associated thrombosis in lung cancer. BALB/c nude mice were used to establish xenograft models for inducing deep vein thrombosis. Tumor growth and thrombus length were assessed.

Previous studies have shown that the accumulation of platelets and neutrophils at sites of endothelial cell activation is a primary event in VT, but a role for platelet αIIbβ3 in the initiation of venous thrombosis has not been established. This task has been complicated by the increased bleeding linked to partial agonism of current αIIbβ3 inhibitory drugs such as tirofiban (Aggrastat ).

Article Synopsis
- - Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been used to study the platelet αIIbβ3 protein, and a new mAb called R21D10 was identified that interferes with protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) binding to activated platelets.
- - R21D10 not only inhibits PDI binding but also affects fibrinogen and PAC-1 binding, as well as platelet aggregation induced by specific peptides, without impacting the binding of other known mAbs against αIIbβ3.
- - Structural analysis using cryogenic electron microscopy showed that R21D10 binds to a specific domain on β3 integrin and induces conformational changes in αIIbβ3, suggesting a
