Rethinking Platelet Identity from an Extracellular Vesicle-Centric View: A Proof-of-Concept Study
The long-standing ambiguity surrounding whether platelets are cells or particles has hindered a unified understanding of their biology. In this study, we characterized the morphology of platelet-like particles (PLPs) using nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence. Notably, we observed that platelets can be endocytosed by living cells. We also…
