Thrombin-induced cytoskeleton dynamics in spread human platelets observed with fast scanning ion conductance microscopy

Abstract Platelets are small anucleate blood cells involved in haemostasis. Platelet activation, caused by agonists such as thrombin or by contact with the extracellular matrix, leads to platelet adhesion, aggregation, and coagulation. Activated platelets undergo shape changes, adhere, and spread at...
