Special Issue on Platelets

Platelets, also called "thrombocytes", are blood cells whose main function is to contribute to hemostasis. Adhesion, activation and aggregation are the main process of stopping bleeding. Abnormal platelets function may cause blood disorders. Low platelet concentration cause thrombocytopenia. Elevated platelet concentration leads to thrombocytosis. A disorder of platelet function is a thrombocytopathy.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring platelets. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Platelets function
• Platelets adhesion
• Platelets activation
• Platelets aggregation
• Platelets disorders
• Platelets signaling and trafficking
• Drugs affecting platelets

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue ” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Platelets” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
