Platelets. 2020 Jul 3;31(5):551-558. doi: 10.1080/09537104.2019.1708886. Epub 2019 Dec 27.

Abstract

Although live imaging of dynamic processes in platelets is a challenging task, several important observations have been published during the last 20 years. We will discuss the amazing insights that have been achieved, the difficulties that can be encountered as well as some questions still open and the future technical perspectives.
