Regulation of venous thrombosis by platelet protein S

Rinku Majumder. Blood. .

Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Calzavarini et al solve the long-standing puzzle of the function of protein S (PS) that has been derived from platelets (PSplt) by showing that PSplt limits thrombin formation in large veins.
