[HTML][HTML] The evolving role of platelets in inflammation
AS Weyrich, S Lindemann, GA Zimmerman - Journal of Thrombosis and …, 2003 - Elsevier
Platelets are small in size and simple in structure. Nevertheless, these anucleate cytoplasts
utilize complex molecular systems to regulate a variety of biological functions. Here we
review evolutionary paths, traditional roles, and previously unrecognized biological
capacities of platelets that interface thrombosis with inflammation and potentially identify
new roles in inflammatory diseases.
