Blood Cells Mol Dis. 2006 Mar-Apr;36(2):145-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bcmd.2005.12.012. Epub 2006 Feb 15.

Abstract

We discuss the interrelationships of platelet glycoprotein receptors, von Willebrand factor, collagen, non-collagen matrix protein, and vascular cells in the complex events of platelet plug and subsequent thrombus formation.
