  2. Thrombopoietin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombopoietin

    Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the liver and kidney which regulates the production of platelets. It stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that bud off large numbers of platelets. [5] Megakaryocytopoiesis is the cellular development process that leads to platelet production.

  3. Oprelvekin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprelvekin

    Oprelvekin is recombinant interleukin eleven (IL-11), [1] a thrombopoietic growth factor that directly stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells and induces megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production.

  4. Thrombopoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombopoiesis

    Platelets are regulators of hemostasis and thrombosis. Platelets become active in the blood following vascular injury. Vascular injury causes platelets to stick to the cellular matrix that is exposed under the endothelium, form a platelet plug, and then form a thrombus. Platelets are essential in the formation of an occlusive thrombus and are ...

    platelet response to their agonists [21] and ↑ atherothrombosis in vivo [22] EP 4: G s: hyperalgesia [20] pyrogenic; supports regulatory T cell production; stimulate dendritic cell maturation (antigen presenting cells of skin & mucosa) inhibit antibody B cell proliferation; ↑ inflammatory region blood flow (pyogenic & erythema)

  6. Romiplostim - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romiplostim

    Romiplostim, sold under the brand name Nplate among others, is a fusion protein analog of thrombopoietin, a hormone that regulates platelet production.. The most common side effects in adults include headache, infections of the nose and throat, and allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions such as rash, itching and rapid swelling under the skin. [1]

  7. Thromboregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboregulation

    Platelet aggregation plays a critical role in the genesis of a resulting thrombus. Adhesion should remain local, but platelet aggregation must grow exponentially to form a platelet thrombus and prevent blood loss. Platelet aggregation factors are the regulators that enhance the adhesion and stimulate the platelets to secrete its granules.

  8. Thromboxane receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboxane_receptor

    Inhibition of this production greatly reduces the platelets final adhesion aggregation and degranulation (i.e. secretion of its granule contents) responses to the original stimulus. In addition, the platelets of mice lacking TP receptors have similarly defective adhesion, aggregation, and degranulation responses and these TP deficient mice ...

  9. Thromboxane A2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboxane_A2

    Thromboxane A 2 (TXA 2) is a type of thromboxane that is produced by activated platelets during hemostasis and has prothrombotic properties: it stimulates activation of new platelets as well as increases platelet aggregation.
