Thromboxane A2 induces blood flow recovery via platelet adhesion to ischaemic regions

Conclusion
These results indicated that TP signalling facilitates ischaemia-induced angiogenesis via P-selectin-mediated platelet adhesion to PSGL-1 on the ECs at ischaemic sites and the supply of pro-angiogenic factors by the adherent platelets.
