The paper shows that inhibiting RhoA-mediated secretory autophagy in megakaryocytes reduces cytokine secretion and fibrosis in a mouse model of myelofibrosis.

This study shows that VAMP8 deficiency reduces AngII-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by altering platelet function and enhancing extracellular matrix stability.

This study shows that platelet granule cargo packaging and endocytosis are essential for proper skin wound healing in mice, affecting multiple phases of the healing process.

This paper identifies a shear-dependent interaction between Protein S and von Willebrand Factor that reduces free PS anticoagulant activity and contributes to thrombotic risk in viral infections.

The paper maps platelet activation states in thrombi to show how their spatial distribution changes during hemostasis, finding distinct clustering of highly activated platelets at later stages.
