DNM1 and cancer: Rodriguez-Martinez et al found that biological interactions between platelets and several types of cancer cells occur through direct contact, platelet phagocytosis, or via microparticles.[8] Phagocytosis of platelets by cancer cells in a dynamin-dependent manner was also observed by the team of Martins Castanheira, allowing cancer cells to access the entire platelet proteome, transcriptome, and secretome.
