Acquired von Willebrand Syndrome Associated with Cardiovascular Diseases
The blood glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays an important role in hemostasis and thrombosis. VWF is produced and secreted as large multimers by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes.

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

Septic arthritis, one of the most dangerous joint diseases, is predominantly caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast, coagulase-negative staphylococci are rarely found in septic arthritis. We hypothesize that coagulases released by S.

The Role of ABO Blood Type in Thrombosis Scoring Systems [PDF]
In addition to their major role in transfusion medicine, there is increasing evidence that ABO blood group antigens (complex carbohydrate molecules widely expressed on the surface of red blood cells and several other cell types) are implicated in the ...

The Role of von Willebrand Factor in Vascular Inflammation: From Pathogenesis to Targeted Therapy
Beyond its role in hemostasis, von Willebrand factor (VWF) is an emerging mediator of vascular inflammation. Recent studies highlight the involvement of VWF and its regulator, ADAMTS13, in mechanisms that underlie vascular inflammation and ...

Mechanobiology of shear-induced platelet aggregation leading to occlusive arterial thrombosis: a multiscale in silico analysis [PDF]
Occlusive thrombosis in arteries causes heart attacks and strokes. The rapid growth of thrombus at elevated shear rates (~10,000 1/s) relies on shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) thought to come about from the entanglement of von Willebrand factor (VWF) molecules.

Increased plasma von Willebrand factor antigen levels but normal von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity in preeclampsia. [PDF]
The activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease is low in several conditions, including HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Antibodies to von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease in acute thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
BACKGROUND Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a potentially fatal disease characterized by widespread platelet thrombi in the microcirculation. In the normal circulation, von Willebrand factor is cleaved by a plasma protease.
