Mechanisms of platelet capture at very high shear
Arterial thrombus forms from the capture and accumulation of circulating platelets on a stenosis. As the thrombus grows, the lumen becomes further stenotic producing very high shear rates as the blood velocities increase through the narrowed cross-section. This study explores the molecular binding c...
