Elevated plasma neutrophil elastase concentration is associated with disease activity in patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Genetic and autoimmune risk factors contribute to the development of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) but triggers are needed to bring about acute disease.

The “5L” framework of diagnostic reasoning: A stepwise scaffold to support clinician educators
Abstract Diagnostic reasoning (DR) is a core clinical skill, yet its teaching remains variable. We introduce the “5L” framework as a bedside teaching scaffold that gives educators and learners a shared, stepwise set of prompts for DR during individual encounters. By asking, “What's Lethal? What's Likely? What's Logical? What's Lurking?

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.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening disorder caused by severe ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, member 13) deficiency (activity <10%).

Internal tension in a collapsed polymer under shear flow and the connection to enzymatic cleavage of von Willebrand factor [PDF]
By means of Brownian hydrodynamics simulations we show that the tension distribution along the contour of a single collapsed polymer in shear flow is inhomogeneous and above a threshold shear rate exhibits a double-peak structure when hydrodynamic ...

ABSTRACT Background Platelet transfusion is commonly used to reduce bleeding risk in platelet consumptive disorders. However, platelets may also promote thromboinflammatory pathways, and contemporary data evaluating the association between platelet transfusion, thrombosis, and mortality in this population are limited.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

Background Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life‐threatening thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by a severe functional deficiency in ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I repeats‐13), the specific von ...

Glycans of plasma ADAMTS13 [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , [Verbij et al][1] identified the sites of glycosylation in plasma ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) and determined the composition of the glycan structures at these sites.[1][2] ADAMTS13 is a blood enzyme ...
