Super-resolution imaging of platelet-activation process and its quantitative analysis

Abstract Understanding the platelet activation molecular pathways by characterizing specific protein clusters within platelets is essential to identify the platelet activation state and improve the existing therapies for hemostatic disorders. Here, we employed various state-of-the-art super-resoluti...
