New England Journal of Medicine, 2008•Mass Medical SocThis review concerns functional contacts between platelets and endothelial cells, with
emphasis on the maintenance of vascular integrity by proangiogenic cytokines and growth
factors released by platelets. These molecules bind to receptors on the surface of
endothelial cells, thereby stabilizing the vascular-endothelium cadherin complex.
