Platelets not only serve as essential haemostatic cells, they also have important roles in
immune defence and inflammation. Despite not having a nucleus, platelets contain …

Platelets are small anucleate cells circulating in the blood. It has been recognized for more
than 100 years that platelet adhesion and aggregation at the site of vascular injury are …

Review on platelet function in inflammation and atherosclerosis. Platelets play a crucial role
in the physiology of the primary hemostasis and in the pathophysiological activity of arterial …

Platelets are well recognized as a key cell component of the hemostatic system. Recently,
several additional functions have been discovered for these blood cells but most importantly …

There is accumulating evidence that platelets play roles beyond their traditional functions in
thrombosis and hemostasis, eg, in inflammatory processes, infection and cancer, and that …

Platelets have a longstanding recognition as an essential cellular component of the
coagulation system. However, substantial research over the last decade has added another …

Beyond an eminent role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are characterized by expert
functions in assisting and modulating inflammatory reactions and immune responses. This is …
