They shape ensuing immune responses by recruiting leukocytes, and support the development of adaptive immunity. Recent data shed new light on the complex role of platelets in immunity. Here, we summarize experimental and clinical data on the role of platelets in host defense against bacteria. Platelets bind, contain, and kill bacteria directly; however, platelet proinflammatory effector functions and cross-talk with the coagulation system, can also result in damage to the host (e.g., acute lung injury and sepsis). Novel clinical insights support this dichotomy: platelet inhibition/thrombocytopenia can be either harmful or protective, depending on pathophysiological context. Clinical studies are currently addressing this aspect in greater depth.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"day":"01","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2023-08-30T07:19:23Z","pmid":1,"month":"10","article_processing_charge":"No","status":"public","title":"Platelets in host defense: Experimental and clinical insights","quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2019-11-04T16:27:36Z","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","oa_version":"None","scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Cell Press","citation":{"short":"L.
