Platelet Activation via Shear Stress Exposure Induces a Differing Pattern of Biomarkers of Activation versus Biochemical Agonists.

TL;DR: Elevated shear stress, but not biochemical agonists, induces a differing pattern of platelet biomarkers-with enhanced PSE and thrombin generation on the platelet surface, and this differential biomarker phenotype of SMPA offers the potential for early detection and discrimination from that mediated by biochemical agonist.
