  1. 1. An investigation of the interactions between clay nanoplatelets in the presence of monovalent and divalent salts, as well as cationic peptides utilising atomistic molecular dynamics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Mona Koder Hamid; [2020]
    Keywords : clay; molecular dynamics simulations; physical chemistry; fysikalisk kemi; theoretical chemistry; teoretisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Clays are negatively charged nanoplatelets with a layered silicate structure. It has been observed from small angle X-ray scattering measurements, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations (CG-MD) that clay nanoplatelets are able to form stacks, known as tactoids, in the presence of divalent or multivalent counterions [8, 5].

  3. 2. Evaluation of Correlation between Platelet Function in Platelet apheresis Donors and Function in Thrombapharesis Concentrates Measured with Impedance Aggregometry (Multiplate® Analyzer)

    University essay from

    Author : Linnea Jakobsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Adenosine diphosphate; thrombin receptor activating peptide; collagen; aggregability; platelet concentration;

    Abstract : Transfusion of platelet concentrates (PC) can be necessary for patients to maintain coagulability. It is vital that the platelets maintain viability and function during processing and storage to obtain enhanced coagulability in the transfused patient. Today, no test is used to verify platelet function in either donors or in PC’s. READ MORE

  4. 3. Thrombin receptor signalling in platelets: PAR1, but not PAR4, is rapidly desensitized

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Linda Haglund; [2009]
    Keywords : Nitric oxide; PAR1; PAR4; platelets; receptor desensitization;

    Abstract : Platelets play a key role in primary haemostasis but are also related to the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis. Thrombin is the most effective agonist inducing platelet activation. Human platelets express two G-protein coupled thrombin receptors (GPCRs), called protease activated receptor (PAR)1 and PAR4. READ MORE
