Significant differences in single-platelet biophysics exist across species but attenuate during clot formation

Blood Adv. 2021 Jan 26;5(2):432-437. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2020003755.

Abstract

  1. Human, canine, ovine, and porcine platelets exhibit disparate biophysical signatures, whereas human and murine platelets are similar.

  2. Multiple biophysical parameters integrate during clot formation, measured by bulk clot contraction, and attenuate biophysical differences.
