Platelets, or thrombocytes, are anucleated tiny blood cells with an indispensable contribution to the hemostatic properties of whole blood, detecting injured sites at the surface of blood vessels and forming blood clots. Here, we quantitatively and non-invasively investigated the morphological and biochemical alterations of individual platelets during activation in the absence of exogenous agents by employing 3-D quantitative phase imaging (QPI). By reconstructing 3-D refractive index (RI) tomograms of individual platelets, we investigated alterations in platelet activation before and after the administration of various platelet agonists. Our results showed that while the integrity of collagen-stimulated platelets was preserved despite the existence of a few degranulated platelets with developed pseudopods, platelets stimulated by thrombin or thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP) exhibited significantly lower cellular concentration and dry mass than did resting platelets. Our work provides a means to systematically investigate drug-respondents of individual platelets in a label-free and quantitative manner, and open a new avenue to the study of the activation of platelets.\n\n\n\nO_FIG O_LINKSMALLFIG WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=91 SRC=\"FIGDIR/small/827436v1_ufig1.gif\" ALT=\"Figure 1\">\nView larger version (39K):\norg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@17fe91eorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@a1b25dorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1c519d8org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@123b6dd_HPS_FORMAT_FIGEXP M_FIG C_FIG

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
