This process requires a complex sequence of mechanisms that is initiated by exposed extracellular matrix and damaged endothelial cells and results in platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation at the site of vascular injury. Platelet binding of extracellular matrix proteins is required for formation of platelet aggregates, and their interaction may have significant impact on platelet function in inflammation and thrombosis. The following studies identify the role of the extracellular matrix protein nidogen-1 in adhesion and activation of platelets and provide rationale for the development of microfluidic platforms for investigation of the platelet endothelium interface. 000007481 650__ $$aPlatelet Activation$$028486 000007481 650__ $$aExtracellular Matrix Proteins$$029067 000007481 650__ $$aMicrofluidics$$035383 000007481 650__ $$aBlood Platelets$$015667 000007481 650__ $$aEndothelial Cells$$035222 000007481 6531_ $$anidogen-1 000007481 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007481 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000007481 7001_ $$aSallee, Daniel 000007481 8564_ $$9ab3ae46f-1ea3-4be7-bbf2-882fd027f4a6$$s2164061$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7481/files/daniel.sallee.2019.pdf 000007481 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zc/77/sq/70/zc77sq70d 000007481 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7481$$pstudent-work 000007481 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
