HIGHLIGHTS

  • Platelets are essential to monocyte pro-inflammatory TLR and NLR responses.
  • Platelet depletion causes a dynamic and reversible transcriptional reprogramming of human monocytes;
  • Platelet supplementation reverts monocyte immunoparalysis in immune thrombocytopenia;
  • Platelets supply p38 MAPK signalling that licenses full cytokine responses of human monocytes.
