Intraindividual variability of von Willebrand factor and the need for repeated testing
Background: Diagnosing von Willebrand disease (VWD) is complicated by intraindividual variation of von Willebrand factor (VWF). Current guidelines define VWD as VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) or VWF activity of

Nucleosomes and neutrophil extracellular traps in septic and burn patients [PDF]
NETosis is a host defense mechanism associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Experimental models show that platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key elements for intravascular NETosis. We determined NETosis in septic and burn patients at 1

Hemostatic factors and risk of coronary heart disease in general populations: new prospective study and updated meta-analyses [PDF]
<p>Background: Activation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis may be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. We aimed to assess associations of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen, D-dimer and von Willebrand ...

Review Dental Treatment of Patients with Congenital Bleeding Disorders
Objectives: The commonest congenital bleeding disorders in childhood are hemophilia, von Willebrand disease and deficiency of factor XI. Disease is characterized by a deficient of coagulability. It is a gonosomal recessive condition.

Lower levels of vWF are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease
Objective The current study was undertaken to prospectively explore whether having low levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen and vWF activity reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease and death. Methods VWF antigen and vWF activity were measured

Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]
Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in ...

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling
Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...
