    GlossaryPlatelet Aggregation

    process where blood cells clump to form clots at injury sites

    Platelet aggregation, also known as platelet clumping, is the process by which platelets (a type of blood cell) adhere to each other at the site of a blood vessel injury. This clumping is crucial for the formation of a blood clot, which helps to stop bleeding and initiate wound healing. The process is regulated by various signaling molecules and is essential for maintaining hemostasis, but excessive aggregation can lead to conditions like thrombosis.
