The Proteoglycan Biglycan Modulates Platelet Adhesion and Thrombus Formation in a GPVI-Dependent Manner
Background: Vascular injury induces the exposure of subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) important to serve as substrate for platelets to adhere to the injured vessel wall to avoid massive blood loss. Different ECM proteins are known to initiate platelet adhesion and activation. In atherosclero...

Different ECM proteins are known to initiate platelet adhesion and activation.

Platelet adhesion to immobilized biglycan induces the reorganization of the platelet cytoskeleton.
