Roles of platelets in thrombosis - hemostasis. After vascular injury, plasma- fibronectin quickly deposits onto the injured vessel- wall. Platelets may also release their internalized plasma -fibronectin from their granules. These plasma and platelet sources of fibronectin likely synergistically contribute to the protein- wave of hemostasis. Platelet adhesion - aggregation ( the classical first wave of hemostasis) are then initiated via platelet- receptors and their ligands. Activated -platelets also provide a negatively -charge surface and mediate cell-based thrombin generation, which contributes to blood coagulation that is initiated following tissue- damage ( the second wave of hemostasis). In a growing hemostatic plug/thrombus, the fibrin and fibronectin- matrix is usually formed in the interface between the injured vessel wall and platelet- plug.
