MicroRNAs in Platelet Physiology and Function

Abstract excerpt

Platelets are anucleate blood cells that are best known for their role in hemostasis and thrombosis. Perhaps due to the necessity of maintaining a proteome over an 8- to 9-day lifespan or the need to adapt to environmental situations, platelets retain many of the RNA metabolic processes of nucleated cells such as the ability to splice, translate, and regulate RNA levels through posttranscriptional mechanisms.
