Platelets are discoidal cytoplasmic particles that respond to a variety of stimuli by developing filopodia and rounding up (shape change), developing the ability to bind fibrinogen from the medium, and, with strong stimuli such as thrombin and PAF-acether, secreting the contents of several types of granules.

Platelet surface-associated activation and secretion-mediated inhibition of coagulation factor XII. [PDF]
Coagulation factor XII (fXII) is important for arterial thrombosis, but its physiological activation mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we elucidated the role of platelets and platelet-derived material in fXII activation.

Background Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an increased risk of thrombosis even when they do not have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Interactions between complement activation and activated platelets have been suggested in SLE and

Interleukin-6 and asymmetric dimethylarginine are associated with platelet activation after percutaneous angioplasty with stent implantation. [PDF]
Data linking in vivo platelet activation with inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors are scarce. Moreover, the interrelation between endothelial dysfunction as early marker of atherosclerosis and platelet activation has not been studied, so far. We

PD-L1 Regulates Platelet Activation and Thrombosis via Caspase-3/GSDME Pathway
Platelets play a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis, regulating the occurrence and development of thrombotic diseases, including ischemic stroke. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has recently been detected in platelet, while the function of PD-L1

Platelets and infection — an emerging role of platelets in viral infection
Platelets are anucleate blood cells that play a crucial role in the maintenance of hemostasis. While platelet activation and elevated platelet counts (thrombocytosis) are associated with increased risk of thrombotic complications, low platelet counts ...

Platelet Toll-like receptor expression and activation induced by lipopolysaccharide and sepsis
Platelets and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling play a role in the immune response during sepsis. Although preclinical knowledge about the role of platelet TLR signalling is increasing, data during human sepsis are less abundant.

A subset of anti-HLA antibodies induces FcγRIIa-dependent platelet activation
HLA antibodies are associated with refractoriness to platelet transfusion, leading to rapid platelet clearance, sometimes coinciding with clinical side effects such as fever and chills.
