Hemostatic plug formation at sites of vascular injury is strongly dependent on rapid platelet activation and aggregation. However, to prevent thrombotic complications, platelet aggregate formation is regulated, in part, by the desensitization of the platelet P2Y1 receptor. Here, we analyzed a novel knock-in mouse strain expressing a P2Y1 receptor variant that cannot be desensitized. The …
