OverviewAI-generated summary
Kelly K. Ball's research focuses on platelet activation and thrombus formation, particularly in the context of vascular injury and stroke models. Publications investigate the structural evolution of thrombi in venous puncture wounds, exploring the roles of platelet aggregates, P2Y12 receptors, and Syk inhibition in thrombus organization. Studies also examine mechanisms contributing to infarct volume in rat models of ischemic stroke, considering the implications of leptomeningeal collateral artery function and beta-blocker therapy. Ball has a record of 31 publications with 851 citations and an h-index of 13. Key collaborators include Irina D. Pokrovskaya, Brian Storrie, Sung W. Rhee, and Michael W. Webb, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom Ball has co-authored multiple publications.
