This article discusses the importance of studying platelet physiology and its role in various pathophysiological processes, including thrombosis, hemorrhage, inflammation, wound healing, and tumor growth. The authors also explore the relationship between platelet function and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). They hypothesize that SIDS may be associated with abnormalities in the serotonin pathway, which is also present in platelets. The study found that SIDS infants had significantly elevated levels of serotonin in their serum compared to control cases, suggesting that high serum serotonin may serve as a potential forensic biomarker for SIDS. The authors propose that platelets could be used as a model system to study serotonin and other biomarkers in SIDS and potentially predict SIDS risk in living infants. [Extracted from the article] |
