This study identifies dysregulated GPIb alpha-VWF signalling in AAA, showing increased platelet GPIb alpha expression and VWF activity in patients and mice.

This study identifies a novel CD36-TSP-1 signaling pathway that modulates platelet-RBC interaction, promoting thrombus formation and contributing to abdominal aortic aneurysm pathology.

This study shows that platelets induce cardiac cell apoptosis via FasL after acute myocardial infarction, contributing to cardiac damage and dysfunction.

This study shows platelets worsen AAA by promoting inflammation, ECM degradation, and osteopontin release, with platelet depletion reducing aneurysm growth.
