Abstract
Biomicrofluidics, a subdomain of microfluidics, has been inspired by several ideas from nature. However, while the basic inspiration for the same may be drawn from the living world, the translation of all relevant essential functionalities to an artificially engineered framework does not remain trivial. Here, we review the recent progress in bio-inspired microfluidic systems via harnessing the integration of experimental and simulation tools delving into the interface of engineering and biology. Development of "on-chip" technologies as well as their multifarious applications is subsequently discussed, accompanying the relevant advancements in materials and fabrication technology. Pointers toward new directions in research, including an amalgamated fusion of data-driven modeling (such as artificial intelligence and machine learning) and physics-based paradigm, to come up with a human physiological replica on a synthetic bio-chip with due accounting of personalized features, are suggested. These are likely to facilitate physiologically replicating disease modeling on an artificially engineered biochip as well as advance drug development and screening in an expedited route with the minimization of animal and human trials.

Abstract
Procoagulant platelets are a subtype of activated platelets that sustains thrombin generation in order to consolidate the clot and stop bleeding. This aspect of platelet activation is gaining more and more recognition and interest. In fact, next to aggregating platelets, procoagulant platelets are key regulators of thrombus formation. Imbalance of both subpopulations can lead to undesired thrombotic or bleeding events. COAT platelets derive from a common pro-aggregatory phenotype in cells capable of accumulating enough cytosolic calcium to trigger specific pathways that mediate the loss of their aggregating properties and the development of new adhesive and procoagulant characteristics. Complex cascades of signaling events are involved and this may explain why an inter-individual variability exists in procoagulant potential. Nowadays, we know the key agonists and mediators underlying the generation of a procoagulant platelet response. However, we still lack insight into the actual mechanisms controlling this dichotomous pattern (i.e., procoagulant versus aggregating phenotype). In this review, we describe the phenotypic characteristics of procoagulant COAT platelets, we detail the current knowledge on the mechanisms of the procoagulant response, and discuss possible drivers of this dichotomous diversification, in particular addressing the impact of the platelet environment during in vivo thrombus formation.

Abstract
Platelet accumulation at the site of a vascular injury is regulated by soluble platelet agonists, which induce various types of platelet responses, including integrin activation and granule secretion. The interplay between local biochemical cues, mechanical interactions between platelets and macroscopic thrombus dynamics is poorly understood. Here we describe a novel computational model of microvascular clot formation for the detailed analysis of thrombus mechanics. We adopt a previously developed two-dimensional particle-based model focused on the thrombus shell formation and revise it to introduce the platelet agonists. Blood flow is simulated via a computational fluid dynamics approach. In order to model soluble platelet activators, we apply Langevin dynamics to a large number of non-dimensional virtual particles. Taking advantage of the available data on platelet dense granule secretion kinetics, we model platelet degranulation as a stochastic agonist-dependent process. The new model qualitatively reproduces the enhanced thrombus formation due to dense granule secretion, in line with in vivo findings, and provides a mechanism for the thrombin confinement at the early stages of clot formation. Our calculations also predict that the release of platelet dense granules results in the additional mechanical stabilization of the inner layers of thrombus. Distribution of the inter-platelet forces throughout the aggregate reveals multiple weak spots in the outer regions of a thrombus, which are expected to result in the mechanical disruptions at the later stages of clot formation.
