The ADAMTS13‐von Willebrand factor axis in COVID‐19 patients
Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is characterized by an increased risk of thromboembolic events, with evidence of microthrombosis in the lungs of deceased patients.

Platelet recruitment to sites of vascular injury is mediated by von Willebrand factor (VWF). The shear-induced unraveling of ultra-large VWF multimers causes the formation of a “stringlike” conformation, which rapidly recruits platelets from the ...

ADAMTS13 ameliorates inflammatory responses in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Background ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) plays a vital role in preventing microvascular thrombosis and inflammation.

Microthrombosis is a hallmark of COVID-19. We previously described von willebrand factor (VWF) and their high molecular weight multimers (HMWMs) as potential trigger of microthrombosis. Investigate VWF activity with collagen-binding assay and ADAMTS13 in

Laboratory testing for ADAMTS13: Utility for TTP diagnosis/exclusion and beyond
The metalloproteinase ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), also known as VWF (von Willebrand factor) protease, may be assessed in a vast array of clinical conditions.

Advances in our understanding of ADAMTS13 structure, and the conformation changes required for full activity, have rejuvenated the possibility of its use as a thrombolytic therapy. We have tested a novel Ala1144Val ADAMTS13 variant (constitutively active

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 ...

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.

Both neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are essential for thrombosis and inflammation. During these processes, a complex series of events, including endothelial activation, NET formation, VWF secretion, and blood cell ...

Von Willebrand factor and ADAMTS13 activity as clinical severity markers in patients with COVID-19
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increases thrombotic risk. The mechanisms that lead to this prothrombotic state are not well established. The main aim was to evaluate the von Willebrand factor (VWF) antigen and plasma ADAMTS13 activity as ...
