#Platelets activation kinetics vary between individuals but are rarely measured. Using a NEW assay and bespoke analysis software, Mitchell et al show that more rapid platelet activation results in larger, denser thrombi at arterial, but NOT venous, shear. bit.ly/3We8kOw

Excellent review of the coagulopathy of liver disease by Ton Lisman. There is a lot more to this than most doctors think. tinyurl.com/6cdkehhc #hemostasis #thrombosis

Superb talk and beautiful data from Prof Jon Gibbins UoR BioSci on heterogeneity in patient platelet reactivity #ISTH2023

Thank you to all the attendees of the #EUPLAN2023 and The Platelet Society joint meeting for making this an amazing conference in Bristol. We look forward to the 2024 The Platelet Society meeting and then Würzburg bender_lab for the 7th EUPLAN conference in 2025. Bristol Platelet Group

Excited to announce the workshop on Data-driven mechanistic models of complex biomedical systems in Birmingham 11-12 December, organised by Sara Jabbari and myself. We have slots to present, and funding especially for ECRs thanks to London Mathematical Society and Isaac Newton Institute

Great to see this out

A great 3 days in Aberdeen full of new friends, old friends, and lots of #platelet talk! Already excited for next year when I’ll hopefully have some cool data🩸

In a recent paper in JTH, Leicester & Nottingham researchers tested 8 mathematical models of coagulation against large cohort data and found no model predicted the haemostatic response obtained experimentally. But the analysis points the way forward. jthjournal.org/article/S1538-…

Looking forward to talking about the use of modelling to get more from data at the ISTH tomorrow #ISTH2024 Reading Platelet Labs British Heart Foundation

A brilliant talk yesterday by the fab Joe Dunster about the value of using computational and mathematical models in the study of haemostasis and thrombosis! 💻🫀🩸 (spoiler: VERY valuable)

Happy to share the final piece of my PhD journey! The study reveals MAS9 as a new inhibitor of the platelet CLEC-2-Podoplanin interaction. Check it out: doi.org/10.1111/bph.70… Reading Platelet Labs Platelet Proteomics Group TAPAS ITN
