title: [Progress of study on interaction between platelets and endothelial cells].
abstract: Endothelial lesion is the most well known example for the interaction between platelets and endothelial cells, but the recent researches indicate that platelets and endothelial cells also participate in inflammation, tumor metastasis and lymphovascular development. Under these situations, the activated platelets express adhesive molecules and degranulate, and regulate the permeability, adhesion, survival, proliferation and metastasis of endothelial cells. All the achievements push the research on the interaction between platelets and endothelial cells to a new era, which would be more significant. In this review, the latest advances and prospect of the interaction between platelets and endothelial cells in inflammation, tumor and lymphovascular development are summarized.
