Popis: Professor GVR Born, Gus to his friends, was one of the great pioneers of platelet research. My early memories of him have enabled me to look back at his early years in Oxford and London. A brilliant and generous man with always the time to discuss and advise he was instrumental in deciphering the principle stages of the aggregation of blood platelets by ADP, a path aided by his development and use of the platelet aggregometer. He applied his knowledge to the real time analysis of platelet and leukocyte involvement in thrombus formation in animal models and to the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis and their pharmacological inhibition. What follows is a personal account of the major steps in this early work and of the actors involved.
