The simultaneous publication of two large, multiauthored books devoted to blood platelets is a landmark in hematology. In 1970, when I completed my training, I changed my research focus from red cells (the interest of my mentors) to platelets. Very little was known about platelets at that time; it w
Platelets, Fourth Edition, integrates the entire field of platelet biology, pathophysiology, and clinical medicine with contributions from 142 world experts from 18 countries. This award-winning reference provides clear presentations by basic scientists on the cellular, molecular, and genetic mechan
Platelets have been an important model system in which to study various aspects of signal transduction. In spite of the fact that platelets are anucleated cells, it has been possible to assess the relationship between receptors, transducers and effectors, and specific platelet physiological response
