Quantifying single‐platelet biomechanics: An outsider’s guide to biophysical methods and recent advances

Abstract Platelets are the key cellular components of blood primarily contributing to formation of stable hemostatic plugs at the site of vascular injury, thus preventing excessive blood loss. On the other hand, excessive platelet activation can contribute to thrombosis. Platelets respond to many st...
