Procoagulant platelets: are they necrotic?

Abstract excerpt

Apoptosis and necrosis represent distinct cell death processes that regulate mammalian development, physiology and disease. Apoptosis characteristically leads to the silent destruction and removal of cells in the absence of an inflammatory response. In contrast, necrotic cell death can induce physiologic inflammatory responses linked to tissue defense and repair. Although anucleate, platelets undergo programmed...
