When TXA2 binds to T cells, it activates ARHGEF1, which then suppresses T cell activity. In experiments where researchers genetically removed ARHGEF1 from mice, their immune systems were much ...

DAILY ASPIRIN AFTER A HEART ATTACK CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF FUTURE EVENTS, STUDY FINDS "It was a ‘eureka’ moment when we found TXA2 was the molecular signal that activates this suppressive ...

TXA2 is produced by platelets in the blood and aspirin is already known to cut the production of TXA2. Aspirin side effects can include bleeding in the stomach (stock image) ...

TXA2, known for its role in blood clotting, also reduces the effectiveness of T cells, which are essential for fighting cancer cells. By lowering TXA2 levels, aspirin allows T cells to become more ...

TXA2 is produced by platelets - a cell in the blood stream that helps blood clot, preventing wounds from bleeding, but occasionally causing heart attacks and strokes.

With less TXA2 suppressing them, these T cells can then destroy any spreading cancer cells. Aspirin was found to enhance the ability of the immune system to fight back (Image: Getty) ...

The study observed that aspirin prevents cancers from spreading by decreasing TXA2 and releasing T cells from suppression.(Shutterstock) In the study, published in Nature, ...

[Arif H, et al. StatPearls. 2020;1c; Patrono C, et al. Nat Rev Cardiol. 2019;2a-b] Impairment of TXA2 function explains the most concerning risk of chronic low-dose aspirin use — that of ...
