As far as I am aware platelets show no chemotaxis or active movement. Thus we should rename the image caption. Also the animation would be enhanced by showing the movement of the platelets as caused by the flow of blood out of the wound. It is not clear that at this physical and temporal scale the ligands would diffuse against the flow of the blood but again this is my intuition and I'd be happy to change my mind if shown good scientific work to the contrary.
