Platelet-neutrophil interactions are important for innate immunity, but also contribute to the pathogenesis of deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction and stroke. Here we report that, under flow, von Willebrand factor/glycoprotein Ibα-dependent platelet 'priming' induces integrin α<sub>IIb</sub>β<sub>3</sub> activation that, in turn, mediates neutrophil and T-cell binding. Binding of platelet α<sub>IIb</sub>β<sub>3</sub> to SLC44A2 on neutrophils leads to mechanosensitive-dependent productio ...[more]
