Key result
HMEC-1 subendothelium supports platelet adhesion and aggregation at high shear rates without collagen or vWF.
Platelet adhesion and large thrombus formation can occur at high shear rates on microvascular subendothelium without the participation of von Willebrand factor and fibrillar collagens.

Challenges vWF-collagen dependence in high-shear adhesion; hypothesis-generating for microvascular thrombosis mechanisms, pending human studies.
Bonnefoy et al. (2001) studied this question. HMEC-1 extracellular matrix vs. HUVEC extracellular matrix was evaluated on Thrombus formation and platelet aggregation. Platelet adhesion and large aggregate formation on HMEC-1 subendothelium occurred at high shear rates without the participation of collagen types I, III, and VI, and von Willebrand factor.
