… The class B scavenger receptor CD36 binds primarily to thrombospondin[11] and
collagen[12] and triggers platelet activation[13] that lead to platelet hyperreactivity. The lectin-like …

Aims To assess whether low response to clopidogrel influences cardiovascular outcome after
coronary stent implantation in a consecutively measured cohort of patients with coronary …

… B, Mean and SEM of 4 to 10 independent experiments are presented. Application of a 1-way
