Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: CAPS
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is well known as an autoimmune thrombotic syndrome with recurrent thromboses. In APS, thromboses occurs both artery and vein, and from large to micro vessels. In contrast, so called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, CAPS, develops multiple thromboses at microvessels mainly within a few weeks and induces to poor ...

This study uncovers a novel mechanism and therapeutic targets in obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS). Antiphospholipid antibody/ß2‐glycoprotein I complex boosts CCL2 and TNF‐α expression in decidual macrophages via TLR4‐NF‐κB. CCL2 accumulates on endothelial surfaces via ACKR1, recruiting monocyte‐derived CCR2+ macrophages, driving inflammation,
