Mechanism and therapy of hereditary angioedema typ III and role of the contact system in inflammatory diseases [PDF]
Combinations of proinflammatory and procoagulant reactions are associated with a variety of disorders affecting the cardiovascular system. Vascular leakage contributes to the pathology of conditions such as, sepsis, allergy and anaphylactic reactions ...

The new era of anticoagulation: factor XI and XII inhibitors
The two last decades have witnessed a revolution in the field of anticoagulation, mainly due to the advent of direct anticoagulant with targeted action against single coagulation proteins. However, the residual risk of cardio- and cerebrovascular events,

Researchers have found that inhibiting either factor XII or factor XI can provide thromboprotection without increasing the risk of bleeding. Both targets could eliminate the main drawback of existing anticoagulants.

Mechanisms and regulation of the polyphosphate/factor XII-driven contact system in thrombosis and hemostasis [PDF]
Blood coagulation leading to fibrin formation is essential to prevent loss of blood (hemostasis), but can also contribute to occlusion of vessels (thrombosis).

Factor XII/XIIa inhibitors: Their discovery, development, and potential indications.
Coagulation factor XII (FXII), a S1A serine protease, was discovered more than fifty years ago. However, its in vivo functions and its three-dimensional structure started to be disclosed in the last decade.

The contact system proteases play disparate roles in streptococcal sepsis
Sepsis causes an activation of the human contact system, an inflammatory response mechanism against foreign surfaces, proteins and pathogens. The serine proteases of the contact system, factor XII and plasma kallikrein, are decreased in plasma of septic ...

Coagulation factor XII contributes to hemostasis when activated by soil in wounds.
Bleeding is a common contributor to death and morbidity in animals and provides strong selective pressure for the coagulation system to optimize hemostasis for diverse environments.
