ADAMTS13 in pediatric sepsis: a prognostic biomarker with potential therapeutic implications
Background Growing evidence implicates a pro-thrombotic state, caused by ADAMTS13 deficiency, in sepsis-associated organ dysfunction, but pediatric data is limited.

ADAMTS13 activity as a novel risk factor for incident type 2 diabetes mellitus: a population-based cohort study [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: ADAMTS13 is a protease that breaks down von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers into smaller, less active particles. VWF has been associated with an increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies are the main cause of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Binding of these antibodies to ADAMTS13 eventually results in the formation of antigen-antibody immune complexes.

ADAMTS13: A New Link Between Thrombosis and Inflammation [PDF]
von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels are elevated and a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I repeats–13 (ADAMTS13) activity is decreased in both acute and chronic inflammation.

Background Severe ADAMTS13 deficiency is a critical component of the pathogenesis of idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura but is found only in about 60% of patients clinically diagnosed with this disease.Design and Methods Over a period of 8 ...

Von Willebrand factor and ADAMTS13 activity in relation to risk of dementia [PDF]
Low ADAMTS13 activity is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, which is generally attributed to its proteolytic effects on Von Willebrand factor (VWF). Cardiovascular health is an important determinant of cognitive decline, but the

Von Willebrand Factor, ADAMTS13 and D-Dimer Are Correlated with Different Levels of Nephropathy in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. [PDF]
We have investigated whether von Willebrand factor, ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), and D-Dimer were associated with different levels of renal function in patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients

Perinatal Gene Transfer to the Liver [PDF]
The liver acts as a host to many functions hence raising the possibility that any one may be compromised by a single gene defect. Inherited or de novo mutations in these genes may result in relatively mild diseases or be so devastating that death within

A conformation-sensitive monoclonal antibody against the A2 domain of von Willebrand factor reduces its proteolysis by ADAMTS13. [PDF]
The size of von Willebrand factor (VWF), controlled by ADAMTS13-dependent proteolysis, is associated with its hemostatic activity. Many factors regulate ADAMTS13-dependent VWF proteolysis through their interaction with VWF.

Factor XI/ADAMTS13 complexes are quantitatively insignificant in human plasma [PDF]
Reportedly, complexes between factor XI and ADAMTS13 are detected with a commercial ADAMTS13/FXI ELISA kit in plasma and are decreased in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
