• TITLE: Considerations on Blood Platelets: A Neuron’s Mirror for Mood Disorders?

  AUTHORS: Massimo Cocchi, Lucio Tonello, Fabio Gabrielli

  KEYWORDS: Blood Platelets; Fatty Acids; Membrane Viscosity

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Blood Diseases, Vol.2 No.2, June 25, 2012

  ABSTRACT: This work aims to be a reflection concerning a remarkable similarity between platelet and neuron. Through a series of experimental tests which have affected the fatty acid composition of the membrane of platelets, it was possible to provide a contribution to the scientific literature, which had already reported strong similarities between platelet and neuron. The work performed could be of great interest to investigate, by studying the interactome of the platelet, the molecular behavior of the neuron.
