Internal tension in a collapsed polymer under shear flow and the connection to enzymatic cleavage of von Willebrand factor [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

Common Hematologic Emergencies—Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemias—A Pivotal Role of Clinical Laboratory

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hematologic emergencies are urgent health conditions which result in significant mortality and morbidity unless timely therapeutic measures are taken. Therapeutic success depends on their timely and accurate recognition by hematology laboratory services.

The class I scavenger receptor CD163 promotes internalization of ADAMTS13 by macrophages

Blood Advances, 2017
: Internalization of ADAMTS13 by macrophages may contribute to its clearance from the circulation. Here we investigated endocytic mechanisms that contribute to the uptake of ADAMTS13 by macrophages. Human monocyte-derived macrophages were used to monitor

Complement and cytokine response in acute Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura [PDF]

, 2013
Complement dysregulation is key in the pathogenesis of atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (aHUS), but no clear role for complement has been identified in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP).

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presenting With Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura at Onset: A Case Report

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
BackgroundThrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a syndrome associated with hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and various organ disorders. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a disease that develops when a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase ...

A case of refractory thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura treated with plasmapheresis and rituximab [PDF]

, 2016
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening disorder with no prevalence or incidence studies in sub-Saharan Africa. Acquired TTP has several causes, all of which lead to decreased activity of von Willebrand factor cleaving ...

Role of Gut‐Derived Endotoxins in Porto‐Sinusoidal Vascular Disorder: Comparison Between patients with and without portal hypertension

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Etiopathogenesis of porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) is poorly known. The present study aimed to investigate alterations in gut barrier, bacterial translocation, and pro‐aggregating/pro‐coagulant state and their relationship with liver injury in patients with PSVD without portal hypertension (PH−) in comparison with PSVD ...

Genetic variants in ADAMTS13 as well as smoking are major determinants of plasma ADAMTS13 levels

Blood Advances, 2017
: The metalloprotease ADAMTS13 cleaves von Willebrand factor (VWF) in circulating blood, limiting the size of VWF multimers and regulating VWF activity. Abnormal regulation of VWF contributes to bleeding and to thrombotic disorders.
