Monocyte-platelet interaction induces a pro-inflammatory phenotype in circulating monocytes.

Monocyte-platelet interaction induces a pro-inflammatory phenotype in circulating monocytes.

BACKGROUND: Activated platelets exert a pro-inflammatory action that can be largely ascribed to their ability to interact with leukocytes and modulate their activity. We hypothesized that platelet activation and consequent formation of monocyte-platelet aggregates (MPA) induces a pro-inflammatory ph...
