Platelets, Fourth Edition,
integrates the entire field of platelet biology, pathophysiology, and
clinical medicine with contributions from 142 world experts from 18
countries. This award-winning reference provides clear presentations by
basic scientists on the cellular, molecular, and genetic mechanisms of
platelets and the role of platelets in thrombosis, hemorrhage,
inflammation, antimicrobial host defense, wound healing, angiogenesis
and cancer. It also provides start-of-the-art presentations by
hematologists, cardiologists, stroke physicians, blood bankers,
pathologists and other clinicians on platelet function testing,
disorders of platelet numbers and function, antiplatelet therapy and
therapy to increase platelet numbers and/or function.
Since the publication of the Third Edition of Platelets,
there has been a rapid expansion of knowledge in both basic biology of
platelets and the clinical approach to platelet-related diseases. This
Fourth Edition of Platelets draws all this information into a single, comprehensive and authoritative resource.
