Platelets play central roles for maintaining the homeostasis of the blood coagulation. As they
are also involved in immune responses and host defenses, increasing evidences have …

Although platelets are best known as primary mediators of hemostasis, this function
intimately associates them with inflammatory processes, and it has been increasingly …

Beyond hemostasis and thrombosis, an increasing number of studies indicate that platelets
play an integral role in intercellular communication, mediating inflammatory and …

Platelets are essential for primary hemostasis, but they also play an important pro-
inflammatory role. Platelets normally circulate in a quiescent state. Upon activation, platelets …

Platelets are anucleate cells produced by megakaryocytes. In recent years, a robust body of
literature supports the evolving role of platelets as key sentinel and effector cells in infectious …

Despite their small size and anucleate status, platelets have diverse roles in vascular
biology. Not only are platelets the cellular mediator of thrombosis, but platelets are also …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which a variety of circulating pro-
inflammatory cells and dysregulated molecules are involved in disease aetiology and …

Platelets are known to play a central role in primary hemostasis as well as in the
pathophysiology of thrombotic disorders. However, in addition to hemostasis, platelets are …

Platelets serve as “first responders” during normal wounding and homeostasis. Arising from
bone marrow stem cell lineage megakaryocytes, anucleate platelets can influence …
