Bacterial–Platelet Interactions: Virulence Meets Host Defense

1 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

Platelets have historically been viewed as cell fragments that only mediate blood coagulation. Yet, platelets have as - or perhaps even more - important roles in tissue remodeling, modulation of inflammation and antimicrobial host defense. It is evident that platelets interact with prokaryotes directly and indirectly through multiple molecular and cellular mechanisms. The important roles of platelets in...
