(Epi)-genetic PEAR1 PHenotyping in HEmatopoietic Specification (EPHES). KU Leuven
Platelets are small circulating cells that play a crucial role in arresting bleeding after vascular trauma. One of the proteins that contributes to this process is the Platelet Endothelial Aggregation Receptor-1 (PEAR1) which stabilizes platelet aggregation. PEAR1 is also present in other cells that are precursors of platelets and in cells, present in the blood stream. To better understand why PEAR1 is present in certain blood cells while ...
