 New findings from Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Camilla Forsberg and her former Ph.D. student Donna Poscablo indicate that targeting this population of platelets could help better treat blood clotting-related diseases. |
Forsberg and her research group have discovered a distinct, secondary population of platelets that appears with aging and have hyperreactive behavior and unique molecular properties, which could make them easier to target with medication. Researchers traced this population of platelets to its stem cell origins, finding what they identify as the first-ever-discovered age-specific development pathway from a stem cell to a distinct mature platelet cell. |
