    Abstract

    Thrombosis represents a major target for development of drugs to prevent and treat a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. This review by Andy Nichols and colleagues focuses on a central process in thrombosis, namely platelet aggregation, and how it can be inhibited by antagonists of the adhesion molecule GPIIb/IIIa. Successful and future therapeutic applications of GPIIb/IIIa antagonists, and their pharmacology, are considered in detail.
