Overview
Identified by Associate Professor Julie Rayes and Dr Martina Colicchia from the Birmingham Platelet Group, and described in a recent paper in Blood, this previously unknown axis comprises platelet receptor glycoprotein I alpha (GPIbα), and an anti-microbial protein S100A8/A9, which is released from activated immune cells. High levels of S100A8/A9 are seen in the blood in thrombo-inflammatory diseases including myocardial infarction (MI), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and infections such as COVID-19 and sepsis, and their presence correlates with thrombotic complications, and worse outcomes for patients. [Source(s): University of Birmingham, EurekAlert] Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, who identified a novel mechanism for platelet activation in pathogenic blood clotting (thrombosis) are now turning their attention to sepsis.
