Structure and Function of Platelets

4.6K
The cell fragments known as platelets are disc-shaped, with an average diameter of about 3 μm and a thickness of roughly 1 μm. They play a crucial role in the body's vascular clotting system, which also involves plasma proteins, blood cells, and blood vessel tissues.
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000...

Summary

Researchers created negatively charged nanographenes (nanographenides) from graphite nanofibre intercalation compounds. These nanographenides display strong photoluminescence when oxidized, opening possibilities for new optical materials.
