The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Factor XIII Supplementation in Postpartum Hemorrhage: From Biological Rationale to Clinical Implementation

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of preventable maternal mortality despite standard interventions. Recent fibrinogen trials failed to improve outcomes, prompting interest in coagulation factor XIII (FXIII). FXIII functions as “molecular cement,” cross‐linking fibrin and stabilizing clots.
