Key result
Rapid flow technologies reveal platelet aggregation and adhesion may be nearly complete within 5 seconds.
Why the study?
Understanding the rapid initiation and signal transduction events in platelet function is essential for insights into normal hemostasis and pathological conditions such as diabetes.

New platelet assay technologies may deepen mechanistic insights into hemostasis; leaves open clinical translation and practice change.
Rapid flow and mixing technologies reveal that platelet activation events occur within milliseconds to seconds, highlighting the speed of hemostasis in the arterial circulation.
Adrian R.L. GEAR (1994) conducted a review in Hemostasis and platelet function. Rapid flow and mixing technologies reveal that platelet aggregation, shape change, adhesion, and secretion begin within 1 second and may be nearly complete by 5 seconds.
