Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Gros et al report that glycoprotein VI (GPVI) promotes the proinflammatory role of platelets by increasing neutrophil secretion and toxicity while at the same time repairing the vascular damage inflicted by neutrophil activation, thereby maintaining vascular integrity. Significantly, this effect is independent of hemostasis.
