Giovanna Gao, Section Managing Editor at Medical Sciences MDPI, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Jeevanantham Kaviarasi et al., published in Medical Sciences, adding:
“First article published!
We are excited to announce the first publication in our Medical Sciences Special Issue:
Molecular Mechanisms in Thrombosis, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Immune Modulation
Featured article:
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and Mean Platelet Volume as Potential Indicators of Prothrombotic State in Immune Thrombocytopenia: An Exploratory Study
Research Highlights:
- Explores the potential prothrombotic state in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
- Identifies a significant positive correlation between PAI-1 and MPV (r equals 0.7063, p equals 0.0061).
- Highlights potential biomarkers warranting further investigation into thrombotic risk in ITP.
- Corresponding Author: Prof. Meganathan Kannan.
- Blood and Vascular Biology Research Lab, Department of Biotechnology, Central University of Tamil Nadu, India.
- With contributions from researchers in India, Türkiye, and the USA.
Call for papers!
We welcome original research and comprehensive reviews on thrombosis, endothelial dysfunction, coagulation, inflammation, and immune modulation.
