Description
From this education session, people will learn how platelets are able to stop bleeding and cause thrombotic disorders such as heart attack and stroke.

Furthermore, the audience will learn the mechanisms of platelet destruction in the autoimmune disorder ITP and the therapeutic methods to target this bleeding disorder.
- Describe the roles of platelets in innate and adaptive immunity.
- List the roles of platelets in inflammation and immune thrombocytopenia.
- Review the roles of platelets in the processes of thrombosis and hemostasis.
