After the initial adhesion of platelets to the extracellular matrix, the repair process requires a rapid response to autocrine and paracrine mediators, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP ...

This review concerns functional contacts between platelets and endothelial cells ... (platelet–endothelial cell adhesion molecule, or PECAM1) and other markers of mature endothelial cells.

"Platelet adhesion, rolling platelets that stick to a vessel wall, is the first step to repairing a damaged vessel wall," said de Lange. "This is then followed by platelet aggregation, ...
