Lower levels of vWF are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease
Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2022 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

Affinity proteomics reveals elevated muscle proteins in plasma of children with cerebral malaria [PDF]
, 2014 Systemic inflammation and sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes are central processes in the pathophysiology of severe Plasmodium falciparum childhood malaria. However, it is still not understood why some children are more at risks to develop malaria

Shear-induced unfolding and enzymatic cleavage of full-length VWF multimers [PDF]
, 2015 Proteolysis of the multimeric blood coagulation protein von Willebrand Factor (VWF) by ADAMTS13 is crucial for prevention of microvascular thrombosis. ADAMTS13 cleaves VWF within the mechanosensitive A2 domain, which is believed to open under shear flow.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A highly efficient extracorporeal device for treating bacteremia is developed by integrating microfluidic bacterial margination and engineered cell‐depleted thrombi strategically constructed in the device. The rodent models, severely infected with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, recover from bacteremia after two subsequent extracorporeal blood ...
