Neutrophils and platelets are among the most abundant cell types in peripheral blood and
characterized by high plasticity and a readily available reservoir of surface proteins and …

Besides being the main cellular effectors of hemostasis, platelets possess a plethora of
intracellular mediators (eg cytokines, chemokines and antimicrobial molecules) as well as …

Platelets are increasingly being recognized for playing roles beyond thrombosis and
hemostasis. Today we know that they mediate inflammation by direct interactions with innate …

Platelets have classically been well recognized for their crucial role in hemostasis; however,
it is increasingly evident that platelets are more versatile than originally thought because …

Platelets are central players in thrombosis and hemostasis but are increasingly recognized
as key components of the immune system. They shape ensuing immune responses by …

Platelets play a central role in primary hemostasis by forming aggregates that plug holes in
injured vessels. Half a century ago, detailed studies of the microvasculature by electron …

There is a growing appreciation for the contribution of platelets to immunity; however, our
knowledge mostly relies on platelet functions associated with vascular injury and the …

Platelets are among the most abundant cells in the mammalian circulation. Classical platelet
functions in hemostasis and wound healing have been intensively explored and are …

Platelets are classically known as essential mediators of hemostasis and thrombosis.
However, in recent years, platelets have gained recognition for their inflammatory functions …

Platelets display a number of properties besides the crucial function of repairing damaged
vascular endothelium and stopping bleeding; these are exploited to benefit patients …
