During the past 10 years, considerable progress has been achieved concerning the physical and chemical events that govern the interaction of cells with surfaces. The attachment of cellular material to a foreign surface and the subsequent growth of the cellular deposit is a fundamental biological phenomenon that underlies numerous homeostatic functions in living organisms and in addition forms the bases for pathological processes ranging from metastases of tumor cells and thrombosis to the evolution of the atherosclerotic process. In this article we shall be concerned primarily with the interaction of blood platelets and damaged vascular material as a model for the cellular events important in thrombosis. The first microscopically visible step in the interaction of platelets with a vascular or prosthetic surface is adhesion of the cell to the surface, which under the appropriate conditions is rapidly followed by the subsequent cohesion of platelets to each other. We will consider primarily the latter event, the growth and stabilization of platelet aggregates on surfaces, with the understanding that aggregate growth is essentially dependent on prior and continuing adhesion of cells to the substrate. The adhesion of cells, especially platelets, directly to the surface is an event that has been considerably advanced from both a theoretical and experimental viewpoint since the proceedings of the previous New York Academy of Sciences conference on this subject ten years ago’; however, this event is covered in several chapters in the present volume and the subject of platelet adhesion has been recently reviewed.*
