Platelets are the main players in thrombosis and hemostasis; however they also play
important roles during inflammation and infection. Through their surface receptors, platelets …

Although platelets are traditionally recognized for their central role in hemostasis, many lines
of research clearly demonstrate these rather ubiquitous blood components are potent …

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 …

The role of platelets has been extensively studied in the context of coagulation and vascular
integrity. Their hemostatic imbalance can lead to known conditions as atherosclerotic …

The paradigm of platelets as mere mediators of hemostasis has long since been replaced by
a dual role: hemostasis and inflammation. Now recognized as key players in innate and …

Platelets are well characterized for their indispensable role in primary hemostasis to control
hemorrhage. Research over the past years has provided a substantial body of evidence …

New findings highlight the complex interplay of innate immunity, coagulation and platelets in
inflammation and infection, and unravel novel molecular pathways and effector functions …

Platelets, small anucleate cells circulating in the blood, are critical mediators in haemostasis
and thrombosis. Interestingly, recent studies demonstrated that platelets contain both pro …

Although the function of platelets in the maintenance of hemostasis has been studied in
great detail, more recent evidence has highlighted a central role for platelets in the host …

Platelets have classically been considered crucial effector cells in hemostasis, but now are
increasingly recognized as players during inflammatory responses in innate and adaptive …
