Patients with late-stage atherosclerosis suffer from life-threatening complications, such as myocardial infarctions, ischemic strokes, aneurysms, and multi-organ failure. Many current treatment options, including anti-platelet and anti-coagulant therapies, although moderately effective at alleviating or preventing thrombotic events of atherosclerosis, carry a risk for bleeding and hemorrhagic complications. Thus, there remains a need to further understand the molecular basis of hemostasis and thrombosis in order develop safer and more effective therapies. The goal of this thesis is to investigate mechanisms in which tyrosine kinase inhibitors reduce thrombotic events, while maintaining hemostasis processes in atherosclerosis, to guide therapeutic interventions for future patients. 000009755 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009755 650__ $$aBlood Platelets$$015667 000009755 650__ $$aAtherosclerosis$$036329 000009755 650__ $$aProtein-Tyrosine Kinases$$024762 000009755 6531_ $$aoxldl 000009755 6531_ $$aibrutinib 000009755 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009755 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000009755 7001_ $$aZheng, Tony J. 000009755 8564_ $$9e22170d1-cc9d-42fa-9214-9c6dae8b058e$$s5278395$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9755/files/Zheng.Tony.2022.pdf 000009755 905__ $$a/rest/prod/nz/80/60/44/nz806044h 000009755 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9755$$pstudent-work 000009755 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
