Fungal Chitin Reduces Platelet Activation Mediated via TLR8 Stimulation

Platelets play an important role in the innate immune response. During candidaemia, circulating fungal polysaccharides, including chitin, are released into the bloodstream and can interact with platelets and induce modulation of platelet activities. However, the role of circulating chitin in platele...
