Platelet adhesion and aggregate formation controlled by immobilised and soluble VWF

Platelet adhesion and aggregate formation controlled by immobilised and soluble VWF

Abstract Background It has been demonstrated that von Willebrand factor (VWF) mediated platelet-endothelium and platelet-platelet interactions are shear dependent. The VWF’s mobility under dynamic conditions (e.g. flow) is pivotal to platelet adhesion and VWF-mediated aggregate formation in the casc...
