September 14th, 2022 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit Hours
Description
Platelets have many functions beyond their canonical roles in hemostasis and thrombosis. These include proinflammatory, immune and antimicrobial functions. Platelets alter their transcriptome and proteome profile in response to cellular activation. Platelets play a role in lung development, cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis. Because platelets take up RNA and protein from circulating tumor cells (CTCs), they have the potential to serve as cancer biomarkers. Studies are ongoing to establish safe antiplatelet approaches to improve cancer outcome, and to understand pathological processes that are promoted by platelets.
