Mesothelium as a Non-thrombogenic Surface

  • Chapter
Platelet-Vessel Wall Interactions

Part of the book series: The Bloomsbury Series in Clinical Science ((BLOOMSBURY))

Abstract

The mesothelial cell has many features in common with the endothelial cell, both in structure and in function. It is in these similarities that our interests lie—in the potential for using mesothelium as a substitute for endothelium.
