Grateful to @theTHORnetwork for the opportunity to present our work @OhioStateSurg on sex dimorphisms in Src kinase - a possible mechanism for estrogen priming of P2Y receptors on platelets. Should we be thinking about platelet transfusion & antiplatelet therapy different by sex?

New pub!🥳 @EmilyMihalko We designed a #microfluidic model of vessel transection that quantifies blood loss. Key finding: in ex vivo #transfusion, #coldplatelets retain function & show promise in coagulopathy settings where RT platelets fall short. https://t.co/Op6G7zn6u5

Less than 2% of NIH funding is dedicated to trauma, despite it being a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. We need more dedicated funding and trauma surgeons engaged in research!
