High-Dimensional Cytometry Uncovers Platelets’ Role in Immunity and Inflammation – ASH
ASH has shared the following update on its X page:
“Platelets do more than hemostasis! High-dimensional cytometry shows their roles in immune responses, inflammation, and thrombosis. Learn how these advances link genetic variants to bleeding disorders.”
Platelets in a New Light: Insights from High-Dimensional Cytometry
Recent advances in high-dimensional cytometry are reshaping our understanding of platelet biology, revealing roles that go far beyond hemostasis. Emerging evidence shows that platelets are not merely passive participants in clot formation but active regulators in:
Immune response modulation
Inflammatory signaling pathways
Thrombotic processes linked to vascular injury
Interplay with genetic variants in bleeding and clotting disorders
These technologies allow for detailed phenotypic profiling of platelet subsets, offering new perspectives in diagnosing and managing immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, inherited platelet function defects, and inflammatory thrombotic conditions.
