Platelets interact with the endothelium to regulate vascular integrity and barrier function, mediate inflammation and immune response, and prevent and arrest hemorrhage. In this review, we describe existing tools to study the flow-dependent interactions of platelets with the vessel wall. We also discuss our work on building engineered microvessels to study the roles of platelets on endothelial barrier function, endothelial sprouting, and thrombus formation on both quiescent and stimulated endothelium. In particular, we will show the advantage of using a cell-remodelable matrix in the studies of platelet-vessel wall interactions.
