Beneficial non-anticoagulant mechanisms underlying heparin treatment of COVID-19 patients
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is associated with severe inflammation in mainly the lung, and kidney. Reports suggest a beneficial effect of the use of heparin/low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on mortality in COVID-19.

Phosphatidylserine-positive erythrocytes bind to immobilized and soluble thrombospondin-1 via its heparin-binding domain [PDF]
Phosphatidylserine (PS)-dependent erythrocyte adhesion to endothelium and sub-endothelial matrix components is mediated in part via thrombospondin (TSP). While TSP exhibits multiple cell-binding domains, the PS-binding site on TSP is unknown.

This study evaluates 3D‐printed recombinant spider silk hydrogel eADF4(C16)‐RGD in a rat AV loop model for tissue engineering. Constructs with T17b endothelial progenitor cells showed enhanced vascularization and biodegradation. Results highlight the importance of scaffold design and cellular integration in improving vascular density and overall ...

Circular RNA PTPN4 Contributes to Blood‐Brain Barrier Disruption during Early Epileptogenesis
Epileptic condition induces CircPTPN4 upregulation, which promotes ECE‐1 expression through competitive sequestration of miR‐145a‐5p. The elevated ECE‐1 catalyzes the ET‐1 production, leading to p38/MAPK pathway activation and subsequent downregulation of tight junction protein expression. This cascade results in increased BBB permeability and enhanced

Thromboprophylaxis during pregnancy for prevention of adverse complications in patients with inherited thrombophilia: a literature review [PDF]
Compared with non-pregnant women, pregnancy alone carries a three- to fivefold higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Despite the increasing use of low-molecular-weight heparin in identified high-risk patients, pulmonary embolism is still the ...

Low-molecular-weight heparin and unfractionated heparin decrease Th-1, 2, and 17 expressions. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the effects of T helper cell differentiation in a mite-allergic animal model treated with inhaled heparins of different molecular weight. METHOD: BALB/c mice were divided into four groups: 1. Control, 2. Mite intratracheal (mIT),
