Destabilization of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain under oxidizing conditions investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. [PDF]
The protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) is key for the adhesion of blood platelets to sites of vascular injury. Recent studies have shown that the release of oxidative agents during inflammation increases the platelet-tethering activity of VWF ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Inherited coagulation factor deficiencies (ICFD) result from plasma protein deficiencies, impacting blood coagulation cascade and leading to haemorrhagic diathesis. Advancements in next‐generation sequencing (NGS) technology have enabled high‐throughput methods for molecular ICFD diagnosis.

ADAMTS13 gene deletion enhances plasma high-mobility group box1 elevation and neuroinflammation in brain ischemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
Highly adhesive glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer induces platelet aggregation and leukocyte tethering or extravasation on the injured vascular wall, contributing to microvascular plugging and inflammation in brain ischemia-reperfusion. A
