Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
An accurate and comprehensive assessment of platelet function is essential for managing patients who receive antiplatelet therapies or require platelet transfusion either for treating active bleeding or for prophylaxis. Platelets contribute to clotting by undergoing a series of highly regulated functional responses including adhe-sion, spreading, granular secretion, aggregation, and cytoskeletal contraction. However, current platelet function assays evaluate only partial aspects of this intricate process and often under non-physiological testing conditions. Herein, we describe the development of a new approach to measure multiple key platelet function-related pa-rameters, in a more physiologically relevant ex vivo semi-rigid microenvironment using a membrane capacitance sensor (MCS). MCS response to clotting provided three sensing parameters with sensitivities towards platelet counts, stimulation strengths, and activation pathways. Live confocal fluorescent imaging of stimulated platelets on MCS suggests that the presented system can readily and accurately convert the dynamics of cytoskeletal reorganization into analyzable electrical signals. Together, this new completely electrical sensing platform can be a promising diagnostic venue to recognize the impairment of primary hemostatic functions, evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, and gain further insights into the mechanisms of platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis.
