Abstract
Circulating blood platelets attach to damaged blood vessels by specific adhesion molecules. In the human arterial circulation, a unique 'shear-dependent' mechanism governs adhesion by a single receptor-ligand (glycoprotein Ib-von Willebrand factor) pair. Here, Gerald Roth reviews recent data that provide insights into the functions of these molecules.Entities:
