Platelet expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 is associated with the degree of valvular aortic stenosis.

Platelet expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 is associated with the degree of valvular aortic stenosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Platelet surface expression of stromal-cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is increased during platelet activation and constitutes an important factor in hematopoetic progenitor cell trafficking at sites of vascular injury and ischemia. Enhanced platelet SDF-1 expression has been r...
