Activated platelets expose phosphatidylserine (PS) on their membrane and aggregate with monocytes via P-selectin-PGSL-1 interaction. The engagement of PS and its receptor triggers the process of phagocytosis, which promotes monocyte survival by regulation of apoptotic pathways. Phagocytosis of platelets may also participate in regulation other biological processes, such as metabolism.
