Nicergoline inhibits human platelet Ca2+ signalling through triggering a microtubule-dependent reorganisation of the platelet ultrastructure (2015)
Journal Article
Harper. (2015). Nicergoline inhibits human platelet Ca2+ signalling through triggering a microtubule-dependent reorganisation of the platelet ultrastructure. British Journal of Pharmacology, 234-247. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.13361

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recently, we demonstrated that a pericellular Ca(2+) recycling system potentiates agonist-evoked Ca(2+) signalling and granule secretion in human platelets and hypothesized a role for the membrane complex (MC) in orchestratin...

Conventional Protein Kinase C isoforms differentially regulate ADP- and thrombin-evoked Ca2+ signalling in human platelets (2015)
Journal Article
Harper. (2015). Conventional Protein Kinase C isoforms differentially regulate ADP- and thrombin-evoked Ca2+ signalling in human platelets. Cell Calcium, 577-588. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceca.2015.09.005

Rises in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) are central in platelet activation, yet many aspects of the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Most studies examine how experimental manipulations affect agonist-evoked rises in [Ca2+]cyt, b...
