Platelet function testing in vivo in animal models of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia
Description
This session will cover the "dynamic visualization of thrombopoiesis" in vivo and updated new information regarding platelet and platelet granule generation. It will present platelet function testing in patients with thrombosis or bleeding disorders. In addition, the session will review platelet function testing in vivo in animal models of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia.
-
Define platelet function testing in vitro in patients with thrombosis and bleeding disorders.
-
Identify the processes and molecular and cellular events of platelet generation.
-
Recognize platelet function testing in vivo in animal models.
