ABSTRACT Introduction Jacobsen syndrome, resulting from a terminal deletion of chromosome 11 (11q), may lead to an increased bleeding tendency due to low platelet counts or platelet dysfunction. Currently, information on bleeding tendency and platelet function in patients with nonterminal 11q‐aberrations such as larger deletions, interstitial 11q ...

Vaspin identified as a DNA‐binding serpin with functional consequences for protease inhibition
Vaspin is a serpin that is expressed in skin, adipose tissue, and liver. It binds to single‐ and double‐stranded DNA with high affinity. This binding is unaffected by mutation of the known heparin‐binding site, accelerates the inhibition of the inflammatory protease KLK7, and may contribute to vaspin's nuclear localization.

TGFβ enhances platelet–breast‐cancer‐cell interaction and promotes platelet aggregation
TGFβ stimulation promotes EMT in MCF7 cells, increasing their ability to bind, activate, and aggregate PLT. This effect involves the upregulation of adhesion molecules Integrin‐αv and Galectin‐3. Inhibiting Integrin‐αv or Galectin‐3, through Cilengitide and GB1103, reduces PLT adhesion to MCF7 and PLT aggregation, suggesting a mechanism linking TGFβ ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Coagulation testing in haemophilia A is limited by the scarcity of testing facilities capable of performing relevant assays. This issue incentivized the development of the EnzySystem for haemophilia A, a near‐patient testing platform aimed to measure Factor VIII activity and thrombin generation simultaneously within 1 h from 100 ...

ABSTRACT Background Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) aims to measure the coagulation potential in whole blood. Concizumab, an anti‐tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) antibody for prophylaxis in haemophilia, enhances tissue factor (TF)‐initiated coagulation by preventing inhibition of activated factor X (FXa), thus increasing thrombin ...

Measuring Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Levels: Applications, Limitations, and Future Directions
ABSTRACT Introduction There are important challenges with the measurement and interpretation of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) anticoagulant effect including a lack of therapeutic ranges, inaccuracy of routinely available coagulation assays, lack of established thresholds for clinically significant effect, and uncertainty about how to apply the ...
