OBJECTIVE: Platelet activation is thought to play a role in the angiogenesis process involved pathophysiology of retinopathy prematurity (ROP). We planned this study investigate whether mean platelet volume (MPV), used assess activation, could be as biomarker diagnosis and treatment ROP. STUDY DESIGN: In our study, we evaluated infants who underwent ROP examination among born at 32 weeks or les...

The increase in cell volume (from electronic cell sizing) and the apportionment of this volume amongst the nuclear, cytoplasmic, and mitochondrial subcellular compartments (from electron microscopy) were studied throughout the cell division cycle in partially synchronized cultures of Chinese hamster V79-S171 cells. Average whole cell volume was found to increase smoothly, consistent with the do...
