title: Isolation of the platelet releasate.
abstract: This chapter describes an approach to isolate, separate, and identify the contents of the platelet releasate, a fraction highly enriched for platelet granular and exosomal contents. Investigation into such a fraction will improve our understanding of platelet interactions with other cells, vascular remodeling, coagulation, and vessel growth.
