Hemostasis is a physiological process critical for survival. Meanwhile, thrombosis is
amongst the leading causes of death worldwide, making antithrombotic therapy one of the …

Platelets are small anucleate cells generated from megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.
After being released into the circulation, platelets play key roles in the surveillance of …

For many years it has been known that platelets play an important role in thrombosis and
hemostasis. In recent times, however, it has become evident that platelets also have relevant …

Platelets were discovered by G. Bizzozero in 1882 and rediscovered in the 1960s after many
decades of oblivion. Interestingly enough, their role was initially more clearly associated with …

Platelets play a variety of roles in vascular biology and are best recognized as primary
hemostasis and thrombosis mediators. Platelets have a large number of receptors and …

Platelets are small blood cells with several physiological purposes; the best studied is
thrombosis activation. Through their clotting activity and activation of the coagulation …

This book reviews current science and applications in fields including thrombosis and
hemostasis, signal transduction, and non-thrombotic conditions such as inflammation …

Blood is considered to be precious because it is the basic necessity for health; our body
needs a steady provision of oxygen, supplied via blood, to reach billions of tissues and cells …

While platelets have long been known to be essential for maintaining hemostasis in the
vasculature, their role in tissue repair, inflammation and innate and adaptive immunity is a …

Haemostasis stops bleeding at the site of vascular injury and maintains the integrity of blood
vessels through clot formation. This regulated physiological process consists of complex …
