Brief description Diabetes represents a serious global health crisis, set to explode over the next few decades. A large proportion of deaths associated with Diabetes can be attributed to a high incidence of cardiovascular disease, with diabetic platelets shown to be ‘hyperactive’. We have defined a novel pathway sensitive to the shear forces of blood flow, which leads to platelet hyperactivity in diabetics. We will investigate potential ways to dampen this pathway, which may offer promise as novel treatments for diabetic patients.
