Abstract

Rheology has profound effects on the rate, structure, and modulation of primary hemostasis. Many of these effects can be studied via real-time, epifluorescence videomicroscopy of platelet adhesion-aggregation to a site of injury to an endothelial cell monolayer exposed to flowing blood. In particular, with the model described, endothelial cells can be shown to be a significant modulator of platelet function at an injury site.
