Platelets, traditionally recognised for their role in haemostasis, have emerged as active participants in the aetiology and progression of neurodegenerative disorders through mechanisms that bridge ...

Platelets are the key cell types in haemostasis after vascular injury and crucially contribute to thrombus formation. In addition to their aggregation and clot contraction functions after stimulation ...

A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only a key molecule in blood clotting, ...
