Platelets not only play an important role in hemostasis, but
there is increasing evidence of their participation in the
induction of inflammation and defense against infection.
Platelets contain stores of cytokines and mediators within their a- and dense-granules that are released upon stimulation and contribute to the various stages of inflammation and immune progression
Dear, the healing capacity of platelets and release of some substances from the granules can induce inflammatory process.
I agree on your statement. There is a lot to find out in this area. I believe that it is a promising research area for the future.
Platelets play much bigger role in immune system . Platelets also act as the immune system’s first responders when virus, bacteria, or allergen enter blood stream
