The article Identification of key lipids critical for platelet activation by comprehensive analysis of the platelet lipidome was recently published in the international journal Blood.
In this paper, Bing Peng and co-workers report the first quantitative analysis of dynamic platelet lipidome modulation, revealing key lipids being altered in platelet activation. They further identify SMPD1 as a powerful modulator of the platelet lipidome and its activation via regulation of lyso-sphingomyelin.
