Platelets in the platelet-vessel wall interaction.
Ultrastructural and biochemical aspects of reversible and non-reversible platelet-vessel wall interaction are presented. Special attention is directed towards the role of release products of platelets, the plasmatic coagulation factors and the prostaglandin system. An up-to-date view of the role of platelet-vessel wall interaction in atherogenesis is discussed.
