Mean platelet volume: When the size does matter

Cardiovascular diseases are known to be associated with unstable atherosclerotic plaques matching with platelet reactions, which lead to thrombus formation and finally clinical events (1). Platelets are heterogeneous blood components, differing in size, density, and reactivity. It is recognized that several substances released from alphagranules, dense granules, lysosomes, or the cytosol in lar...

When Size Does Not Matter: Pairing Sites during Meiosis

The alignment of homologous chromosomes that occurs early during prophase of meiosis usually occurs in two stages: a pairing stage where the homologs are roughly aligned and a synapsis stage where homologous chromosomes are aligned precisely and held together by a specialized structure, the synaptonemal complex (SC). Meiosis culminates in the segregation of homologous chromosomes that have been...

Granularity Scale & Collectivity: When size does and doesn’t matter

Bridging levels of “granularity” and “scale” are frequently cited as key problems for biomedical informatics. However, detailed accounts of what is meant by these terms are sparse in the literature. We argue for distinguishing two notions: “size range”, which deals with physical size, and “collectivity”, which deals with aggregations of individuals into collections which have emergent propertie...
